Fortunately my holding tanks already have electric heating pads on them. I plan to run the electric heater in the basement just because the propane heat can get way too hot inside the RV living area. That said, I figure with the use of some propane heat, electric tank heater pads, and a small electric heater in the basement too, I should be able to keep things warm enough down there to avoid any serious issues with the tankless water heater. I expect the coldest outdoor weather I'll be camping in is about 20 degrees. Beyond that, we will definitely have wrapped up our camping season and winterize the RV.
Hopefully, the tankless water heater won't end up being a problem or the weak link in colder weather usage. If these measures do not work I suppose I will end up replacing the tankless water heater with a regular tanked water heater like I've always had in the past.

Just read the thread on the Furrion tankless hot water heater. We have a new 2022 303rls. The heater body is located under the hutch last cabinet door. I opened it up this AM and there is plenty of room for a small electric heater or heat lamp. We winter in central FL where it will dip below 39 on a few occasions. I will try the a lamp and keep the cabinet door open on chilly nights.

Took delivery of our fourth 5th wheel in April, a 337RLS. It also has the Furrion Tankless water heater and we've used it in temperatures as low 35 F. We've found if we are city water then the system works great with an endless supply of hot water. When dry camping the Furrion system works great in the shower and bathroom sink, but is very intermittent in the kitchen. It seems the heater cuts in and out too much. Anyway going back to dealer at the end of season for a couple minor warranty things, but other than that we are very happy with the unit.

I’m not too happy about the water heater not being good for less than 39 degrees either.
But I just read on their website that they are only good up to 4500 feet above sea level without a software change. We have to contact them to find out how to do this. Why would they not put this in the manual.Reflection 303 rls

I've been following the temperature issue as it's a big concern for us. We start our camping season when temps are below freezing and most of the time end it in November when the temps are just as cold. I'm thinking about adding a heater inside the cover of the hot water heater. I haven't gotten to the actual process yet, but here's what I'm looking at: a thin silicone heater pad. Possibly inside the cover somewhere. I'll let everyone know what I come up with. It isn't ideal but if it works, great.

Yep I understand. There is a range of wattages and sizes for those pads. It would only need to be 25 to 50 watts from my educated guess. Wouldn't take much to raise the inside of the water heater 10-15 degrees. There's room on the right side and behind the stiffening plate on the front.
