At 4 AM I took one of the space heaters and placed it in the basement in the compartment next to the all the water facilities. When I got up around 8 AM I tried the water from the sink faucet directly above the water facility. It ran for 2 seconds and then stopped. That gave me some hope. I think that was the hot water line. I have tried all the water faucets with no out put. I think my next attempt is to use a blow drier in the water facility and see if that provides relief. I want to thank all of you that replied. Very friendly community. By the way, it is still cold here, around 16. Weather here was 72 yesterday.
Since the thermostat is inside the RV using the space heaters to keep the temp inside the RV in the 60s you may have prevented the furnace from running and keeping the water tanks and lines from freezing.

As I have stated in other threads on the forum a space heater should never be used in a Challenger if temps are going to drop below freezing. Doing so is done at one's own risk.
