    Don, I checked the Weather Network and the 14 day trend for Vancouver is all above freezing. Soooooo, if you believe the weatherman, you should be safe de-winterizing your trailer. After all, if he's wrong he isn't the one who is going to be replacing burst plumbing. just saying.....

    Good luck and let us know how you make out.

    We camp in Virginia all winter long but we don't run water through the lines. We use bottled water to flush the toilet, etc. I leave antifreeze in the toilet bowl and pour some down any drains we use. We have been fine doing this. It's unusual for us to have a couple of straight days below freezing, though.

    Cute. We don't. The weekends that it is that cold are the ones when I stay home and actually do some work around the house! I have heard of some folks flushing with antifreeze, though!
