4. Leave cabinet doors, bed doors and wardrobe doors slightly open at flight to allow circulation of air in
and around all furniture components
5. Use propylene glycol type antifreeze in waste and drain water tanks to prevent freezing. Quantity of
antifreeze needed will vary with ambient temperature and the amount of liquids in tank.
6. For extended stays in cold weather, insulate the water line outside the motorhome. You should remember
that low temperatures in combination with high winds cause an equivalent chill temperature much below
what your thermometer is reading. For instance, with an outside temperature of zero degrees, and the wind
velocity of 10 miles per hour, the equivalent chill temperature is minus 20' F. The exterior water faucet has
an in-line valve inside the motorhome. In below freezing temperatures, shut off the valve inside and open
the exterior brass valve so it will drain.
WARNING
: Always shut off the LP gas when gasoline is added to the fuel tank.
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in these states you must use
your common sense. How cold is it? How long will it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the
temperature dropping or rising? Remember, the wind chill factor when driving 50 MPH will cause the
interior of the motorhome to cool much faster than when it is parked.
