And.... you should have had the power off on the outdoor unit after winterizing. Otherwise the freeze protection would try to run constantly if you live in cold temps.

A dealer once winterized another coach I had and forgot to do this. The blower motor ran most if the winter and was shot in the spring after I de-winterized it.
Yes, we do live in northern Michigan, land of big snow and long, cold winter (although this one was thankfully very mild). Forecast for the next week doesn't call for anything below freezing so hopefully we'll be OK. Then we'll be heading "south" on our trip (250 miles worth of Michigan before we hit the state line and then to Indiana & Illinois. That's south by our local standard.) If need be, we can plug into shore power easily here on the farm to keep freeze protection active.

Yes, power was all off while the rig was winterized and stored. We have to look further into the outdoor part. Maybe DH is aware and has taken care of it automatically without saying anything to me. I may be the ignorant one.

Thanks for your insights and contribution to our knowledge bank. We're taking lots of notes of all the generous help we are receiving on this forum.
