How Cold Can You Go

[danemayer]

22 below zero here in Bozeman, MT with 40+ mph wind. Kitchen water frozen. Propane tanks will not work without electric blankets wrapped around to keep warm. I have 750/1500 watt electric heater in underbelly with access panel removed for better airflow. Being new fultimer, I am having a custom canvas skirt made for my rig to completely wrap lower. This extreme cold necessitates leaving water running inbathroom sink even with Petit electric water hose. I'm just hoping the frozen lines wont split or burst. Definitely need to insulate floor under living room/kitchen more.

Hi tunakiller65,

Take a look at our owner-written Water Systems Winter Usage Guide. You might find something helpful there.

I have wondered about using some type of radiant heat under the floor.

I wonder if you could heat the floor and your tanks without needing additional tank heaters or furnace ducting to the areas under you RV.
