Cold Weather Plumbing

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Ernie:
What about having your hot and cold water lines together,insulated in a blanket
or something like that, and then circulate the hotwater throughout the hot water
lines? That way you would not require the heat tape or forced air fans.

Installing a bypass and injecting antifreeze in all the pipes might be well
suited to folks that do not use their coach in the winter. Since we live
further south of the deep freeze, we use ours year round. in fact, I guess i
could
have considered myself a fulltimer as I was in the coach 10 months this
year.
What I was trying to get across, and hopefully I can this time. I would like
to be able to stay up in Montana longer- that is if I had a good system in
place where my water wouldn't freeze if it got to be zero outside for a
prolonged time.
Is heat tape the ONLY solution that is on the market?
It would be nice if there were small heaters- not noisy hair dryers that
could operate and send warm air down the side runs of the coach.
On my coach, the chassis heater lines do not run down the fresh water runs-
thus I couldn't use those. By the way, my chassis heaters saved our butts
driving home.
