Freeze Protection
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.
