Re colder overnight temps (say..down to 10 or 15 F or even lower) it would seem to make sense to keep the outside water hose disconnected overnight, and use fresh water from the belly tank with the onboard water pump until out of the probable freeezing temp/time band. Probably good to keep the fresh water tank fairly full overnight, add more in the later part of the afternoon if necessary.

Also, how about keeping the thermostat set to 60 or slightly above and block (or partially block) the interior heat vents, especially those nearest the thermostat sensor. That should keep the furnace running longer, and result in a more heat into the belly area.

Comments on the above?
