Pete,

Good question---- I've thought a lot about this myself. The way I see it is that the trailer is insulated and with all the movement going down the road the water will tend to move a little. If the weather were down in the 20's or lower I would consider stopping every so often and warm it up in there. I do know that a lot of folks have traveled during cold weather with no freeze up problems if they are careful.
