Yeah but if you leave them open you end up with a block of ice in your hose,either way not a big fan of leaving the water trickling UNLESS you do not have a heated hose,with my first 5th I did that and that is exactly what happened and it was real fun sitting with a hair dryer for an hour thawing it out in 10 degree weather so I could empty my poop tank

That just makes me nervous to leave the water trickling when the tanks are closed ,I just put heat tape like Dave and others and leave the heat on to 62 at night and never had any problems with freezing in 3 years of fulltiming in cold weather

Didn't say to leave the tanks closed...it was stated to leave them open. Many of us have used this procedure with temps in the low 30's and high 20's with no problems. It is simply a much easier way to avoid freeze-up in low temp for short periods.
