Do I need to run the furnace?
Hi All,
I am currently in Colorado helping out in a state park so I camp for free. I am going to spend the winter here. Predictions say it will be very cold.
I will have full hookups including a heated water hose.
My fresh tank is empty (and will stay empty).
My under belly is sealed and insulated. It is heated by the furnace.
I usually pore anti freeze in the grey and black tanks while I am using it anyway.
As many have stated, I hate using the furnace due to the amount of propane it uses and really mostly because of the noise!!
The diagram below shows my cold plumbing (hot is the same). The red circle is where there is a drawer in the bedroom that I will remove and place a small space heater in there that will help keep pipes warmer (I believe).
I have other heaters and a fireplace I can use inside besides the furnace.
Soooo my question is if I add more anti freeze to tanks (not sure how much) can I get away from having to use the furnace just to heat the tanks? Or is there something else I can do?
Adding tanks heaters would be a tough job don't really want to go that route.
