Next week we are expecting night temperatures in the low 20’s and mid 10’s and daytime temps in the 20’s and 30’s. We need to leave the RV for 3 nights to go see a new grand baby and I’m not sure how we should leave the RV.
Should we leave the heater on at 50-60? Tank heaters on? Water drained? We are on city water so I have heard we should disconnect? Hot water heater drained?
We just got the HC 3 weeks ago upgrading from a 2006 Outback. Wow what a difference so I want to make sure I do the right thing so I would appreciate your thoughts.

As others have mentioned, if you will be gone for a few days and it will be freezing and into the mid 20’s or below, safest thing would be to filly winterize. If you are not able to blow out your water lines, you will have to use the pink stuff. If you have water lines for washer/ dryer don't forget those. If you blow out your lines you will need a couple gallons of the pink RV antifreeze for your P traps. Drain your tanks including your hot water tank. DONT get any pink stuff in your hot water heater. If you are camping in this freezing weather, a heated fresh water hose is a good idea. Also use the electric space heaters as others have mentioned but keep your furnace on as a back up in case the space heaters struggle in the coldest part of the day. Keep your hot water tank on using the electric heat. If you have tank heaters might as well keep those on as well. Keep warm!
