Winter Traveling
Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require
certain precautions to protect the plumbing system
and your personal belongings from being damaged by
freezing�
Whenever possible, the heat should be kept set to a
constant temperature� It is easier for the furnace to
keep a constant room temperature than allow the trailer
temperature to drop to 50°F, then attempt to raise it to
room temperature�
The furnace is ducted to provide heat to the below floor
water tanks and plumbing to prevent freezing�
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while
moving� While traveling in these states, simply 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, when
towing at 50 MPH, the wind chill factor will cause the
interior of the trailer to cool much faster than a parked
trailer�
1� When parked in sub-freezing temperatures, make
sure to keep a full supply of LPG and plug into an
external AC power source whenever possible�
2� If your stay is longer than overnight, you should try
to have 120-volt electricity available� Minimize the
use of electricity if a 120-volt power source is not
available�
3� Leave cabinet doors, wardrobes, and bed doors
partially open to allow warm air to circulate around
plumbing lines and fixtures. Insulate and/or wrap
your exterior water lines with heat tape�
NOTE
Drain and winterize your airstream if the water
system is not being used during winter traveling.
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance in this manual for
winterizing instructions.
