Tank and line heaters?

Hello all! I plan on traveling from PHX to CHI for the Holidays and staying for about a month. (First grandchild on the way!!!) While there we will be staying in a friends condo. We are parking the RV in my daughters side driveway and will have 30amp electric service.

The manual says the tank heaters and line heaters are good to -11F.

So, if I stay plugged in, keep the tank heaters on and warm the interior with a plug in heater, will that be safe for my unit? Or should I winterize? (Never done that before!!)

Any advice is appreciated! My wife want to drive up and back in the RV instead of a car.

Winterize

Jayco dealer said our Seneca came with Tank Heaters... it did not have them after we took delivery.

X2 you should winterize. The tank heaters might keep the tanks warm, but the various water lines under the coach or hidden behind walls and in cabinets may not stay warm enough to not freeze, causing damage.
