I have a 5th wheel rv trailer that we plan to take to Florida this winter. We will be leaving late February and will probably have a few days traveling until we get to above freezing temps. We are sleeping in the camper overnight while enroute. My questions are:
1. Should I leave the furnace on low (55 degrees) while traveling or only use it while parked overnight ?
2. Should I put some water in the fresh water tank before starting out from home or add only when above freezing ? I currently have the system winterized.
3. My dealer said to use windshield washer fluid to pour into the toilet when flushing down the nasties. I thought it was toxic. Is this a good idea ? Would you recommend I have at least a gallon or two of something in the black water tank ? I have heated waste tanks, maybe I should turn them on when parked overnight.
Would appreciate any suggestions you experienced rvers care to offer. This is our first winter trip. Thanks.
