Well, SoCalgal,

I used to live in Valley Center, just outside of Escondido.

AS far as your bays, it sounds like the light bulb is exactly what it says. When we are in cold weather (not much if we can help it) I put a 75 watt bulb in the water bay to keep it toasty warm. It works great. Our rig also has a couple of vents that blow warm air from the furnaces into the basement. I suspect yours does too.

Hi John & Libby,

I came upon your website through the RV America’s Fulltimers forum and thought you may be able to help me with something.



I just purchased a 1990 34L Pace Arrow. The brochure, (yes it still had the original!) states that the holding tank compartments are heated for extended winter use, yet I can find no info in the manual on how this system works. The only reference I have been able to find, is a sticker in the fresh water tank holding compartment that says, "Turn switch on when entering area with freezing temperatures." The only switch in there (besides the basement light) is connected to a small light bulb fixture inside the water pump housing area. To me, it looks like a convenience light for the water pump, but who knows!



I can not figure out if the compartments are automatically heated (I have seen no vents - just lots of electrical attachments) or if there is something I need to do.



I plan to be on board fulltime and live in a part of Southern California, where it can get below freezing at night.



Any help or info on this would be greatly appreciated. - Complete newbie in SoCal.
