Thanks ncitro and Cate&Rob for your feedback. I completely understand pulling the two plugs on the ODWH. We also run the furnace all the time at a minimum of 16C, so that is a benefit... but I am worried about cold air coming directly into the heater exchanger from the exhaust port.... on that note, I have never had my water supply hose freeze within a foot of entering the trailer... but I have had it freeze outside of that point. Thoughts on running the hot water overnight on a drip from a tap... we do that a lot up here in the mountains to prevent the lines from freezing... as moving water takes longer to freeze... thoughts?
For the most part, we don't see -5C overnight too much during our camping period (May 1 to Oct 20). So I am going to run with the Floe system to get the water out of the lines. I think 15psi will push most of the water out. I will be leaving all the plugs out and taps open during the months of May and Oct due to the risk of freeze. If a little bit of water is left in the copper lines I hope the remaining air space will provide that needed space for expansion.
