Gruffy:
As you have described, the propane does run off the 12 volt system, therefore allowing us that want to, to use it to take the chill off while traveling down the road. This is probably the most efficient way to keep the water system from freezing. My thought is, (of course this costs extra) would it be feesable to have a separate heater - propane, to heat just the belly area and another to heat the living area. In this way, they would be independent of each other and not interfere with each other. This would allow usage of the living area heater for heating at a comfort level to ones satisfaction and also allow the heating of the belly area to a level to prevent heating. Each unit would have their own thermostat for independent regulation.
Of course, extra insulation the pipes and tanks would be necessary.
Does this have any merit? Thanks for your comments.
