My thought is people camp in those type temperatures without winterizing. If you leave the heat on i would think you would be okay. As you said drain water heater.

I sssume you’re in Russellville, AL? If so, I’m a bit north of you in Huntsville and you probably would. But I probably would. Hate to say it, but the pain of re-winterizing is nothing compared to the pain of fixing a blown waterline.

This was my first year in this rig, and I’ve spent most of the winter worrying I missed something LOL. All of my TTs were easy, and I’d just use compressed air and blow it out. This one has a residential fridge (e/ ice maker), washer & dryer, island, etc. so I had to use the pink stuff. .

If it were me I would. $10 for the antifreeze and 1/2 hr of time = a peace of mind for me not to worry about it.

I'm about 2hr north of you. Along with the low temps (saying low of 12 here)there calling for 10 to 20mph winds here with the cold front also. Wind is a big freezing factor with the low temps!
