This is good info and has a couple points that are worth repeating!
Do you get heat into the compartments where plumbing may be found?
You do have to check as all RV are different!

But if we are lucky enough to have an RV built after 2010, Winnebago gives us a really great tool to look at where we might find heat ducts running into the compartments below the floor!

If you find your specific RV, drop to the heating sections and move to furnace to get a good look at what you have.
When you see a duct that is open at the end and goes below the floor, you can pretty well depend on it heating the compartments below the floor!

But that is where you need to look at the RV you have as each will be different.

Those 3d schematics are great! It has taken a while, but I have finally figured out how to find most everything I have looked for. Couldn't have done it without help from members here.

Well, I'm happy to report that freezing conditions were a non issue. We were prepared with help from members that replied here, but we caught the areas at just the right time and the only thing we had to deal with was some light rain.

Thanks again for the valuable info! It will help us in the future I'm sure.

Happy New Year!

We can get lucky but it's always good to have a plan when we do get caught!
That's life?
Look, learn, and adapt as needed!
