What is the best way to keep water pipes from freezing in a RV?
It’s not winter yet, but in Oklahoma with the high winds and the low wind chills, I’m scared that my water pipes in my 34 foot rv may freeze. I have put 1/2 inch Foam Board Insulation in all the empty space under all closets and under cabinets and today (if the temps are warm enough), I will try to put more foam under the bathtub and around the bathroom sink. I have also wrapped the water line into the RV and patched any and all holes. I also let the water drip. The RV Park manager said RVs and Travel trailers do not need skirting, because they are mobile and most don’t stay parked long. Well, I’m trying to stay in one spot for at least 2 years in order to save money for a better and bigger toy hauler.
Can anyone tell me more about insulation my RV from the cold? In this small town there is not any RV repair shops or dealers.
If your not using it just drain the systems, both fresh and gray. Leave them open so that any residual water will have an air space in which to expand if it freezes. This should make everything ok. They do make special antifreeze compounds as well.
Basement framing and insulating?
if its park add anti freeze to water lines
flush it out before you use it again
if your using it heat wrap main line and plug into a outlet keeps water warmer as like one does a old house
blow water lines free with air

if you have any electric outlets then wrap them with heat tape or wrap insulation around them.

there is an antifreeze that is specifically for your problem. Try using Peak RV and Marine antifreeze. Its different from regular coolant and you could buy it at almost any auto parts store.
