I was told "in the 20s for three days in a row without warm up during the day and there could be a problem". But if it is warming up to the 50s during the day, you should be OK.

I see from your last post just above that you drained the tanks and put on the furnace. Better safe than sorry.

OK, but tanks don't freeze. Water lines do.

I was thinking the same thing.

It stayed below freezing for 8 hours last night getting down here to 24 degrees at the coldest. I think the lines and probably the pump would almost certainly have froze. The same story is predicted for tonight, but even a little colder. This is the first time in about a month that the temperature has been below average in Minnesota. March was basically like May usually is, but its back to reality for at least a few days now.

I've been using my RV for the past month or so in Minnesota because the weather has been very nice. Tonight, however the temperature is predicted to drop into the high 20's with temps then raising during the day to the upper 40's to low 50's. I'm trying to decide if I need to winterize everything to get through this one (maybe two) nights. There are probably many people in this area with the same problem. Any thoughts on whether it is too big of a freezing risk to skip winterizing in this situation or should we bit the bullet and winterize (again)?


23°F with snow flurries this morning "over the hill" from Duluth. Looks like April and March switched this year. Not going to de-winterize until the end of the month.

Same here in WI. Trying to decide if we should dewinterize and test out the unit on Wed/Thurs. DH thinks we may as well wait, but I'm just so anxious to use it. Ours is a new Adventurer TC and they "claim" it's a 4 season camper.

It's so annoying that March gave us a taste of spring and April is back being Feb! UGHHH!
