boondocking in cold weather?

[fwernlein]

Wish I was heading south!!! I posted a file on what I do on
the wanderlodge_FC group a while back which may help (works for me,
but I am no expert) but in brief:
1: protect blk/gry waste tanks from freezing with rock salt or red
RV antifreeze. 2: Get the bus heated and keep it heated in freezing
weather...electric and/or LP and when on the road use the chassis
heat...do not park bus and let it cold soak or turn heat down when
your off the bus. I do keep the vanity access door and kit. cab door
open to let heat in. 3: at a RV park, fill your tank, dump waste
and put everything away as dry as possible, do not leave out for any
length of time or you will really have a problem with your
water/waste hose -- talk about hard water!

Have a great trip!
