Yes sir... Disclaimer: I don't have a RV Certified Training Certificate, so I legally defer others to Camping World, but in my rig I keep these. Seems like I can remember the face, but I keep forgetting the name; but one poster says one is none so I have a few options on hand. :coolsmiley:

I bought those when you first posted them years ago.
Too good of a deal on ��1/4" valves to have passed it up.
Two days ago I found the garden hose to 1/4" part and couldn't figure out why I had such a thing. Valves have long ago been used for something else.

Imagine what we'd know and how we'd pass it along if we were properly schooled.

This may be a dumb question, but what do you do if you are living full time in the RV and may encounter below freezing temperatures at night for multiple consecutive nights (e.g., 3 to 7 nights). You still need to use your water and waste systems regularly.

20°F... use heating pads and furnace, etc.

Below 0°F... You picked the wrong place to snowbird!
 
Tank heater pads are cheap and thermostatically controlled 12v things glued onto anything with their own glue.

I have them under my lithiums...because I could not because I think I'll need them...but I may need them.

Buy the cheap fittings listed
Spend 10 minutes blowing out system MANY times a year if you decide to use the rv during the winter.
Buy pink if you like.
None if this is an exact science. Hell, it's barely a defensable opinion.

We have electric blankets on the rv beds.
Alexa, preheat beds!
Ok.

#1 in your sceanrio you don't winterize. You take special actions to ensure the spigot and the water hose are heated. The same for all tanks and plumbing in the RV, they are heated by external systems.

#2 Choose where you will full time in an RV carefully :popcorn:
