Therefore, even if your hot water heater is not working , you can still take a hot shower by heating water on a propane fired heat source and decanted into the pan or bucket. You have to have the hardware store acquired tubing on hand however.
Ingenuity , don't leave home without it.

While up in Erie the line from the fresh tank quickly froze as expected in the sub-freezing temps overnight. I am going to try a slight variation of what Dave describes above. I will use the winterizing T-valve to draw from a 5 gallon "Smart Bottle". These are double wall heavy duty plastic bags and remain standing on their own. One or two of these should fit within the underbed drawer I made. Easily emptied and rolled up to nothing when not in use. Since all other plumbing is inside on the 19 this will allow use of plumbing system as long as the interior is kept heated.
