So we are in MN just south of Minneapolis & though we are leaving for FL in a few days, we are currently experiencing cold weather here. We specifically bought our 427 with a "Yeti Pack" which we were assured could handle the weather we would encounter in the fall/spring (not deep winter) here. I'm having a hard time finding exact specs, but so far the Yeti Pack is not so impressive. First there are 2 switches (only the one in the control panel cabinet is labeled - the other is just a clear red switch that glows when on).
We have a heated hose from the water hookup into our rig (which, stupidly, is on the GFCI outlet in the bathroom so if it pops the breaker we don't know until the water freezes) & we have water flowing in the bathroom. But if it gets below freezing the water lines in the rest of the rig - kitchen/garage - freeze too. So no dishwasher, no washing machine, no flushing of garage toilet... I was under the impression the Yeti Pack was there to prevent those hoses from freezing. Heck if we can buy hoses with heat tape for use outdoors, wouldn't it make sense for the Yeti Pack to include heat tape on water hoses in the trailer? It isn't deep winter cold here - these are temperatures that should be reasonable for the Yeti Pack to address...
