Re: [A/S] plugged in all winter
This is a BIG RISK !
First off your heater will only heat the living quarters of your
trailer.
Next your pipes are below the living area and will freeze,
Not only the pipes but your water holding tank.
What about also your P traps in your drains?
Next what about your water heater? It will freeze and break too.
Then you have the fire danger and the risk of the heater failing or the
power going off.
Would it not be simpler to just buy 2 gallons of pink anti-freeze and
pump it into your lines.
You may have to have someone equip your system with a little water
heater and antifreeze kit first.
But that is a one time charge and it is cheep.
Next time you are going to winterize your trailer all you do is flip
over the bypass valves and suck in the two gallons of pink antifreeze.
Cost will be around $3-4 and it takes only about 10 min to do.
