Frozen Pipes
I got the water flowing again. Big relief. No leaks. I put a space heater in the opening of the wet area and draped it in a blanket. The heater is set on low and will turn off if it tips even a little bit. So I feel safe doing it this way. I understand the space heater issue. It may have caused the problem, however, the furnace ran at least every 20-30 minutes for 10-15 each time it turned on. I thought that with that heat, the basement should have had enough heat to keep the pipes thawed. To me, I think that the Thor design of the wet area is substandard for an expensive motor home. The enclosure should have been insulated on the bottom and there should have been an option to turn on and off a heat element that will keep the area above freezing weather when the RV is in use. In the future, I need to make a work around. The 100w light bulb sounds good. Maybe a adjustable hot plate with a smooth surface. Run on low, that may provide sufficient heat. Any ideas are appreciated.
