Well if you play in a deep freeze long enough you are bound to get chilly. Went to dump today, the handle for the shower/bathroom sink will not pull. I am a little hesitant to try to force it. Kitchen sink and black water pull fine. I had something similar happen in a different brand 5th wheel, turned out the tank heater had failed. So, we are stuck in a snow bank for another week with subfreezing temps. Trying to develop an in place plan to keep things thawed until we can move again. So a couple of critical pieces of information will go a long way to helping me develop a plan.
First question, where in the Momentum 376 is the tank that holds the water from the shower? What is the closest bay door to the tank?
Next, the pull handle is on the driver side of the rear bay, as you open the bay the handles are mounted on the left. How is the shower drain cable run?
I don't expect an answer for this next question, it just has too many what if's and conditions, but if I don't ask then I can't get pleasantly surprised with an answer, I know that whatever is said will totally be on me if I follow the advice. We are talking purely hypothetical best case scenario stuff. I will not hold anyone responsible for the answer. If I were to place additional heat in the Momentum 376 were would the optimal location be?
Last helpful information data request; What is the amp draw on the tank heaters? Are there 3 of them? Are they laid under the tanks near the gate valve?
I have a fancy meter on my battery for when I am boondocking, it measures the amps and W being used. With the converter off, the difference in amp draw with the tanker switch off vs on is 1.5 amps. I was kind of expecting 3-4.5 for 3-4 tanks with heaters.
I haven't read all the rules for posting here, but feel comfortable enough with this forum to add some personal information in case you wish to respond more directly.

If anyone has any helpful info please speak up. I have about 2-3 days to get this resolved, if I can't dump I don't get to take a shower. If I don't take a shower my wife will make me sleep on the couch. After that, she will make me sleep outside, is was -2f this morning, I really don't want to sleep outside.
