2670MK Cold weather
Let me start by saying I'm new to RVing. With that I'm wondering at what temperature do I need to worry about the cold weather. I know everything is enclosed and heated but wonder about the quick connection at the rear of trailer by outdoor kitchen. We are using the fireplace and furnace. it will be in the 20s tonight with colder weather to come. Any ideas welcome.
Thanks Bob2020 2670MK

Rely more on the Furnace than the fireplace. You need to keep the basement warm to prevent lines freezing. If nothing is connected to it, it should be fine. It is within the confines of the trailer.

Is there a fresh water line connected? If so you will want to disconnect it.

First, welcome. I'm fairly new myself and ditto to all else has said.
We just spent four nights at Florence Marina St Pk in Omaha, GA. Thought we were going to warmer weather (it was 19 degrees the morning we left Jasper, GA), but it was was in the mid to upper twenties Monday and Tuesday night last week. I did fill the fresh water tank about 3/4 full, unhook and drain the water line and set the furnace to the upper 50's. We had no problem with the fresh water drain point, any quick connect or the outside kitchen. Just waited until temps got above freezing each day and hooked the water line back up.
As Sgt Roc said, the under belly only gets heat when the furnace is running. There are no heating pads on the tanks.
Will heading to Augusta, GA the end of Feb. Hoping for warmer weather.2019 Imagine 2670MK, Titan disc brakes, Morryde CRE3000

What are you doing with the waste line? Are you leaving it hooked up and just off-loading when it warms up? Also, I have a 2017 Tundra w/ a 2020 2670mk. What has been your experience w/ towing? We are heading down to Skidaway State Park mid-February and on to Blythe Island Regional. First long trip.

Did not hook up waste line until needed, only two nights until overnight did not get below 32. Probably would have hooked up when needed during day time temps and then disconnected if night time temps continued to stay low.
Regarding towing, have not had any issues with the truck having the power to pull anywhere we have been. We have the tow package, which I believe makes a big difference, so it does hold onto lower gearing longer, especially on long uphills. Depending on your desire to maintain a certain speed, it will gear down significantly if you are trying to maintain Interstate speeds on big hills, but as stated it has not had an issue with being capable of doing what is asked, so far. We just bought this bigger unit in Nov, so we have not towed in the heat of summer in very hilly places. I guess we will see. The other big plus is the original owner converted to disc brakes, big plus.
