Hi everyone
Just bought our first motorhome ever, a 32 foot Itasca.
Bought it in the UK, drove it from Kent to Harwich. Took the Harwich- Hook ferry and then drove home to Sweden.
Great first trip.
It is now parked up out front waiting for us to get it registered in Sweden.
Looking really forward to spring and our first trips.
Cheers Derek

Hi Thanks for the advice, the RV is in for some really low temperatures, it is pretty cold up here so we are on top of protecting against it.
You have got me thinking though, are the tank heated separate from the inside
heater?
It us hooked up to 230 volts and I have stand alone radiators to keep the temp around 10 to 12 degrees
Need to look into that.
Thanks and take care Derek

Heating inside won't necessarily protect tanks .
Some tanks are insulated and some are heated. If heated there will be switches , probably on main Elec control panel.
If in doubt if not in use drain down, also look for external shower also needs draining or insulating.

Cheers for that, I have drained everything, the outside shower was a good tip though will do it in the morning.
I do realise a couple of standalone radiators will not replace the standard system.
Thanks Derek
