[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3527359, member: 7900"] Yesterday was interesting. Got up as normal and went about normal things and prepared to head to town to help our youngest son with some of the stuff with his "new-to-him" home. Got through shaving in the RV and noticed that the water drained pretty slowly from the sink. Looked down into the shower, and water was backing up there into the bottom. Come to find out, the temps have been so cold (minus 16 at the lowest) that the sewer drain pipe had frozen up outside, thus filling up the grey tank to the point of it backing up into the shower. We have a short, clear plastic section in our sewer line so I can watch when dumping and flushing the tanks, and that section showed to be solid ice inside. Still had to go to town, so we went on to do that. I figured that when we returned, I would have to throw a tarp over the sewer line and put an electric heater in under it. But, since it got up to around 45 degrees yesterday, that all thawed out by the time we got home. First time ever seeing that happen in the RV, and we've been in some pretty darn cold areas. [/QUOTE]
