We have our 379FL permanently parked in an RV resort. We previously had a Road Warrior Toy Hauler, but decided we would rather ride the bikes when we travel (or haul them with our smaller trailer), and use the RV as a vacation cabin. We fell in love with the Grand Design, so traded in the RW. Long story short, what we do in the winter is use an electric hose (tried the tape wrap, but it actually got TOO hot - I think DH must have gotten it too close or overlapped it), and we also built a little square igloo out of styrofoam-type insulation - that fits over the entire frost-free spigot, and with a small shop light also hanging in there keeps the spigot from freezing - we just have to remember to put the thing up BEFORE it snows :-). We used to leave the light on in the UDC to create a little heat. I think DH also put some type of insulation in the opening, but I don't remember what kind. We have stayed there this year on a rather cold weekend, and we use the propane to take the edge off, then use the fireplace to keep the rig warm. I did notice we went through the propane quicker than we did in the RW - probably because there is more living space to heat.....a good third of the RW was just a garage.

Jeff & Kathy --
The waste tank gauges on most RV's are notoriously inaccurate.
When we have full hookups, I always leave the shower/bath room sink tank running open
since that is the one where we accumulate the most waste water.
If you are convinced the waste tank should NOT have been full, you can always measure
its capacity by pouring measured gallons of water down the drain. A few GD owners have
had a problem with the vent pipe being inserted too far into one of the tanks, causing it to
act full (or bubble) prematurely.Ken & Wilma

There has been a problem with the 379FL shower drain. I have received information from Janice, and I'm pretty sure others on this type of drain.
I did start a thread on this forum a couple of months ago and there could be a response on there. I know there was discussion are on our FB Group.
I find it more difficult to navigate this type of forum, so search away. Sorry to be so vague, just wanted to get that message out to you. :-)
