Diesel jell point

[Rose Mary]

I was wondering that very thing as it is supposed to be 16 or colder
tonight and dropping lower for a few days. We are all plugged in but
don't know what to do as far as keeping the diesel from jelling....
should I wait until it warms up before trying to start up tomorrow?
We are at our first RV since leaving home. Visited family in Reno
and Fallon and headed south tho it will take a few days to get to
warmer clime.....
First time using WiFi and our new laptop. Works great.
