What should we do differently next time to keep our trailer pipes and gray water tank from freezing during a multi-day period where the temperature gets down to low single digits and never gets above freezing during the day?
As background, we are full-timers. We've been in the mountains of North Georgia the last three weeks and for the first time, our trailer pipes froze which meant no access to the Airstream's water tank for a couple of days. This was the first time we were able to test the cold temperature limits - we experienced two nights in a row of low single digit temperatures (well below zero with windchill factored in) and during the day, the temperature never got above 32 degrees. This resulted in our not being able to get water from our water tank even though it was warm enough for the outside water source and water hose to work normally. Also, we lost ability to drain the gray water through the slinky.
Now, it's a balmy 36 degrees and everything has thawed out and is working normally.
