I just purchased a 2018 Winnebago Minnie Drop 1780. (Really impressed by the quality, design, and technology). We live in Colorado and a lot of our camping will be boondocking at high elevations. What that means is that even with warm forecast we may get hit with temps below freezing (even in the summer). Worst case would be temps as low as 20 degrees overnight. The dealer said the tank heaters should be sufficient but the Minnie Drop has exposed tanks and pipes on the underside (they are not in an enclosed bay). I am thinking I need to wrap insulation and add 12v heat tape to protect the expose gray/black tank drain pipes and the short hoses exposed to the freshwater tank. Can I really avoid doing this? I am not looking to camp in prolonged below freezing temps but I do need to be able handle occasion freezing nights. Any thoughts?
