Sewer accessories stored in their own bay? I don’t have a tube for the hose.

I apologize for so many questions.
After seeing your wet bay, if it was mine, thats where the sewer stuff would go, because thats where your dump valves are and I'd put the fresh stuff somewhere else.

My travel trailer is limited on storage bays so I put mine in their own tub and the stinky slinky goes in my bumper. I'd prefer a tube but I'm too cheap to buy one :crackup:

In other news the AC unit is working well. It cools right past the setting and the humidity is very low for central Florida. I turned it up to 78.

A common thing for both RV ACs and fridges, is people think setting it colder is better, when what happens, is they freeze them up and they stop working well. Actually, this can happen in autos too. MAX AC, should not be used as a permanent setting.

Try to find a happy medium. 78- 80, with low humidity, can be quite comfortable, when its 95 outside. Same for the fridge. Get a thermometer and find just the right temp but no colder. For mine, thats right in the middle of the settings range. We've never had trouble with either appliance.

There’s a good bit tucked up out of sight in the wet bay. Plumbing runs and the tank heaters. Oh and a little light 😊

When I moved the battery location to under the bed, that freed up room on the tongue for a "sewer box".

Thinking about winterizing this thing ...

Checked the historical weather for Orlando and its most often pretty mild.

Cold snaps, low enough to do damage do happen but not often long lasting.

Still, a Plan B ought to be developed.

The wet bay, shows tank heaters for the waste tanks and the fresh tank is inside under the bed. Thats awesome but I didn't see the fresh tank drain, or low point drains.

I'm in the Sacramento area and the most I do is to drain the water heater and low point drains. It doesn't get cold enough long enough to justify anything else here. That being said I'm a bit of a weather nerd, so I'm constantly keeping an eye on the weather. If it looks like we'll have a abnormally cold stretch where it will be below 32 inside the trailer for an extended period I'll go out and kick on the heater.

I think they are on the other side with the water pump

That be them. They and the fresh tank drain should be the most vulnerable points you have re freezing
