Instead of ethanol, remove the metal cover of the tank top fill, and then 
prop open the storage bin lid a couple inches to let interior air circulate. 
I have been in 10 degree weather with the interior heated to 65 and never had 
any freezing problems this way. Besides, what if you forget or someone else 
unaware has a drink? Talk about your severe gastric disturbances!

We will be taking a trip to Libby, Montana in late
October. �� Would it be safe to travel with water in
the storage tank? �� I have thought to add a 10%
ethanol solution to the tank to prevent freezing.
We will be hooking up an electrical connection each
night. �� Has anyone used a trickle charger to keep a
charge on the battery? �� If so, what kind of charger
works best and can I run the charger while I use the
lights and radio in these very� long Montana nights.
Thanks Gary>>
