Hi,
Has anyone used water pipe heaters, or a small electric heater, or even run their propane while on the road, to prevent the water lines from freezing?
I know we'll be OK while camping.. It's above freezing during the day at our destination, and we'll have the furnace for at night.
I'm concerned w/ driving though.. We'll be driving through 20 degree weather to get to our destination and between camp sites at times.
Water pipe heaters or a small electric heater seem like a good idea.. but there are details to figure out like their wattage, and how much power the alternator is happy to supply while driving.
(I wish I could branch off the exhaust pipe and route an extension through the cabinets and then back outside... heh.. free heat)
I know there are tons of threads about this, and I am firmly in the risk taking camp.. I've camped in below freezing a bunch of times w/ full water usage. But this is the first time I could be driving for 12 hours in the freezing temps between destinations.
thanks!
