Well, all the water lines are inside of the camper. The tanks all have heaters on them. I can even turn them on with my phone via bluetooth.Hey Ted @wibornz question:
I've read, maybe incorrectly, that the E-Pro isn't rated as a 4 season travel trailer and yet you referenced heated tanks.
How did it fair for you in the cold? What steps beyond the composting dry toilet did you take to address cold weather usage and what do you like and dislike about the model you own? How did your Lithium (Iron Phosphate?) battery, a chemistry known for not behaving well at accepting charge below freezing, work for you?
TIA
This is what I can run via my phone for the 15TB
The lithium battery typically will not charge in below freezing weather, but it will still put out power. It warmed up above freezing during the day and my solar did a good job in topping the battery back off. The camper has a soft start 12 volt fridge, all LED lights, and propane heater. It is pretty efficient as far a battery power usage. Now, I have not used it in frigid weather. It dipped got into the high Teens, but I would winterize it if it was getting below zero. Winterizing take about three minutes a less than a gallon of RV antifreeze. It is super easy.
