Travelling with fresh water in winter

If you're travelling the water will move and is very unlikely to freeze in this country.

and if you have tank heaters switch them on.

agreed, moving water wont freeze at the temps we get here....check out our rivers...

once, with our first Bolero, did we suffer from frozen water...ot was the pipe from the underslung fresh tank that came up into the van.....totally uninsulated....which i changed after the lesson was learned.....

water sitting in an outside container (wastemaster/bucket) os likely to be the most prone to really low temps.

We toured with our AS throughout last Winter and Winter previous, including temps down to -12c. I can't recall us having any issues. Can only assume well lagged or residual heat kept things ok. We always drain down when getting home though, if MH is having time off. Never had issues with onboard caravan tank either, although we didn't travel with that with water in, but it never froze on site. Unlike the other van with exterior water barrel. Pass the hairdryer please!

agreed, travelling with water in a caravan tank might not be best practice, but standing water outside in a plastic tub in the depths of winter also seems an odd thing to do.....in the uk...

i guess the lagging jackets help, but, in 2016, there must be a better way?....internal, frost free tank, perhaps...?

Surely that depends on how they are wired on the motorhome. I have not yet found it cold enough to run mine but I do have a 12v supply available with the ignition on although I am aware not all motorhomes do.
