These lines were under the rv I wrapped them in heat tape and put a couple of heaters under there. I also it 5 gallons of antifreeze in there. It took about 8 hours

Anti freeze is good...once tank is empty, add a couple gallons immediately before using water. It will find it's way too the lowest spot which will be the exposed pipes vs. the tank itself. You can also add a small dose every once in a while just to mix with the drain water as you fill tank. Hopefully, you'll get your butt back down to Florida soon...where you belong!!

I stayed a winter at an oil rig near Green River and had no issues. When I had to dump tanks I moved a few bales, pulled out and headed for a dump station.

Bob, just read a couple of posts above yours.

Now that I kept reading, it looks like someone else noticed it also.

I want you folks ta not do what I just did. There I was in a Taquila indu, er I woke up late and turned on my generator. Then I decided to hook up to shore power an I mistook this this tree for the power pole. Nah, that's not right. This is a tree that got hit by lightening, but a lie is half way around the world before it gets found out.

If you have an Ace use the water hose in the dump control/water pump area to run hot water over the lines.

Best quick fix advice I've seen so far, add hot water

I've been having some "visual difficulties" recently, and his short post just sort of ran into the ones around it...

Exactly what I do, outdoor shower is right there and very handy as it usually don't freeze up
