Freeze Heaters
My coach depends primarily on the AquaHot-heated basement to protect
against freezing. However, while replacing the floor, I discovered a small length of plumbing running in the curb-side "chase" (that's normally covered up with carpet/flooring) with heat tape wrapped around it. There is no indication where the power comes from for the heat tape and the wires disappear behind the galley cabinets so I couldn't trace the wires. Nothing on any of the power panels mentions a breaker for the heat tape nor did I see a thermostat for it. I guess it works, 'cause we've been down to 9 degrees here during the past couple of weeks and nothing (inside or in the basement) has frozen up.
