Pete, this is the second time you have asked this question. I kept waiting for some learned reply from the List when you first asked it. It is a question that I have been puzzling over myself for some time. I know how to keep my water lines from freezing while parked, but I am really curious about when
traveling in sub-zero temperatures.

Thanks for asking it again, hopefully we will get an answer to this burning question :-)
