Early morning a couple days ago and 35 degrees outside, Unusual for the Houston area! It snowed yesterday in Dallas. Today is warmer, until the next front comes in! We live in League City, TX, 25 min. south of Houston and are part-time RVers
A new front is coming in around We'd. or Friday. Our Keystone Sprinter is polarized, whatever that really means. We would be leary of taking it where it's below freezing. What do you think? Is the polarized feature dependable with freezing weather? Have you put it to the test? Ken (my hubby) says this next cold swipe should be the last one this Winter I guess he's reading the tea leaves...
Ours says the same. It's basically marketing hype. They enclose the underbelly with thin plastic and bubble insulation and put a small vent from the main furnace down there to heat the tanks but it's not much help in the really cold. OK for a little bit of freezing weather say if it drops for a few hours overnight, you'll be OK. We have seen overnight temps of as low as 22f in the desert with no issues, but day time temps were up in the 50's
If you do ever have to camp in sustained really cold weather make sure to use the main propane furnace rather than try to save money with electric heat. Only the big furnace will help keep your plumbing and tanks from freezing. Burn lots of propane! It's the best defense against cold in our units.

Pretty cold nights around 36-38F over here in the very south west of Texas, we have been burning quite a bit of propane.

Don't forget about the Easter frost, Sharon!
