Freeze Protection

[freewill2008]

I had a "Doh!" moment last winter when I realized that on a side bath
FC with the propane furnaces running, warm return air from the coach
interior is being pulled into the back of the furnaces. This pulls
warm air along behind the galley, fridge, and bathroom where the
pipes run. The area behind the shower might not get protected this
way on all models, however.
