I pulled the panel behind the convenience panel off and found the water pump had frozen and cracked. Luckily there was a CW about 10 miles away with a replacement pump. This morning (17 degrees) I went to replace it and found all the pipes behind the panel frozen. I’ve got a small room heater in there now thawing it out. Keystone advertises 4 season protection. False advertising?

Just survived the Minnesota winter. For two weeks we were negative 30 !! I use a 90w outdoor flood light inside the belly and have it shine toward the plumbing!!! Did it after my first freeze and never happened again. I don’t think it’s false advertising but there is a lot of gaps which allows cold air in. I also had a 2 inch foam skirting!!
