using when cold partially??

[23jayco]

hey guys i use my jayco travel trailer for work when I'm out of town. right now I'm working out of town on weekends. the trailer sits at home during the weekdays. and when I'm at work i am pretty much only in the trailer at night...

its been getting down below 32 degrees here the last few nights.

this is my first trailer so I'm new to most everything lol. i know a lot of people winterize there trailer and put antifreeze in the lines... but id hate to have to do that and drain it every week being I'm still using it...

is it ok to leave water in the fresh tank? water heater etc?

I have a jayco 24 FBS it does have jaycos thermal package on it not sure what that means. but it has a sticker with a sun and a snowflake. but how cold is the trailer and the lines rated for? and what kind of piping do they use anyone know

The thermal package includes 2 things:


1) An extra layer of insulation between all the plumbing and the outside air
2) The ductwork on the furnace blows some heated air into the underbelly space.


So, if you run the TT's own heater to keep the cabin at a comfortable temperature, the insulated underbelly space should stay well above freezing.


You will be spending quite a bit of propane to keep everything above freezing.


Once water freezes in the lines, things break. 30F inside the a cabin that has not been winterized means a new toilet valve and all faucets.

keep the heat set down low, 50ish and save some propane still gets heat below

I have a underbelly on my Octane. Is that the same thing as far as additional insulation?
