Potentially helpful hint for those of you with frozen pipes - heat tape. Cheap and easy solution. Wrap pipe, then insulate over that. Plug into a thermostat set for 34 degrees, have a martini.

Why not? Works perfectly. I have some on a radiator pipe that is susceptible to freezing temps. Problem solved.

A huge necessity for trailers up here. Heat tape, insulation and skirting. Any break or holes in the skirting where the wind can get through, frozen pipes.
