Cold Weather Plumbing

[Tom Warner]

Ernie I believe you said you took the side panels off between the
rear bedroom wall and the wall just prior to the side bath. How much
room is there in there? In my coach there are freeze heaters in the
rear, the bathroom and under the kitchen sink etc.

Just a guess at this point but why not just cut small vents in the
side panels and install small 12 volt computer fans that will suck
warm air from the room into those spots? Would not take much air to
stop them from freezing.

Appears to be two problems. The first is for those that store their
coaches in cold weather and the second is for those that use them.
