We are hoping to visit Colorado in December in our Baystar but we are getting a bit worried about the temperatures. We traveled along the east coast in our Thor ACE in December and have been in temperatures in the 20's at night (with snow a couple times), but it usually gets in the 40's or higher during the day. The ACE had zero insulation and got cold as heck inside, but we never had an issues with the tanks freezing.
This will be our first winter trip in the Baystar and the temperatures are projected to be much colder. We might be looking at teens at night and maybe 30's during the day. We've never traveled with multiple whole days below freezing. We still don't have a clear forecast, but I would like to be prepared. We have a backup location planned, but Colorado is where we really want to go.
We aren't so much worried about inside temperatures as we are the tanks freezing. We added the heating tank pad option, but does that cover all tanks? Do we need to worry about our fresh water tank freezing or are we ok with the furnace and heating pads on? Are there other things that we need to be thinking about? We don't typically keep our water heater on except when we need to do dishes (we shower in public restrooms), but should this stay on in colder temps?
