Icemageddon 2026
#1

Hey all,
This is our first winter in our Newell coach. While we’ve been fulltime on the road since 2014, out idea of winterizing has always been to follow the weather. Due to a health condition, we will be stuck in Dallas for at least this year and you might know about the big storm heading our way this weekend. We have heaters in place for the air compressor, water catchment and (lifepo) battery bay, but do we need one in the generator bay and should the engine preheat be on through the storm to prevent the diesel from gelling up?

 Thanks

I have been in mine for a week at 15F, with nothing but the water bay heaters on. The basement is well insulated. Good idea on heating the bay with the aux air. You will have more air leaks when its cold.

Fill that puppy and turn on the aquahot! Watch the madness around you!
