As we head towards cold country, I'm thinking through various scenarios related to preventing freeze problems. One thing that just occurred to me is how the service bay and water systems are protected while traveling down the highway. Here's the "protection" we currently have:
The bay is insulated (bay floor and door both have styrofoam insulation). There's also a fixed electric bay heater on a thermostat down there that presumably would be powered from the inverter. However, I've never seen the "activated" light (alongside the heater power switch inside the coach) come on to tell me the heater has ever turned on; This is true irrespective of whether we're at a campground or traveling on the highway. I have two RF thermometers in the bay that communicate with a third unit inside the coach. But, both thermometers quit transmitting when the temperature gets too low.
Anything else I should consider or be concerned about while in transit?
