Water Systems
The motorhome is not designed for extended use in below freezing
(32°F/0°C) weather. There are precautionary measures that can be taken for
extended cold weather use.
Interior water lines, fixtures, and drains above the floor are normally
protected from moderate freezing temperatures as long as the furnace is
operating. Cold temperatures can adversely affect water systems below the
floor level because the LP-Gas furnace heat does not provide heat to these
components. A supplement 12 Volt bay heater and thermal snap disc are
located in the water service bay. The System Heat switch on the monitor
panel operates the bay heater and should be turned on when ambient
temperature approaches 44ºF (+/- 6ºF) and freezing temperatures may occur.
System Heat Operation:
1. Turn the Systems Heat switch ON to supply power to the snap
disc thermostat.
2. When the bay temperature reaches 40ºF (+/- 6ºF), the snap disc
thermostat will close. The bay heater and the systems heat
Active light will turn on. The heater will continue to operate
until bay temperature reaches 55ºF (+/- 6ºF). The bay heater and
Active indicator light will turn OFF.
NOTE: The bay heater consumes about 20 Amps when operating.
House battery power can be quickly consumed. It is recommended
to hook to shore power when using Systems Heat.
Storing the Motorhome in Cold Weather Conditions:
If the motorhome is stored where freezing temperatures may occur,
drain the domestic fresh water loop completely of water. When
draining the domestic fresh water system begin with draining the fresh
water tank by opening the point drain lever for the fresh tank and
allowing the water to drain.
NOTE: Icemaker, water filters, water purifies and
water heaters all use domestic water and should be
drained and stored in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendation for winterization.
