Ha! Way to go Bob! The windshield advice is the best and one that most would overlook. Moisture gets into those windshield chips and, when the temp dips to freezing, the windshield cracks. Have these things repaired ASAP, even if not approaching winter. Sure, the 50/50 ratio, as you would do for any vehicle. As far as the fresh water plumbing, I have always just opened the drains, left them open, and that is all, with no adverse results, down to -30F. I kind of like the idea of having a fresh cocktail waiting for me, though, so I give high marks to the alcohol suggestion. 5/50 Castrol Syntec is what I've used for the above mentioned temps. Don't forget to put some of those Dcon mouse bait wedges in there....don't know how bad the mouse problem is in Bend, but here in Colorado, at my 9000' elevation, if you don't take precautions, they move in.....with horrible results! Gracias, Miguel
