So it's looking unlikely that we are going to be in our house by the time the snow flies here in North Central Idaho. That being said it looks like we're going to be in our Class A through the winter. So what do I need to start considering as far as freeze protection. We are in a Full Hook-Up park so everything is good there as far as power, water, sewer. But the last thing I'm going to want to deal with is frozen pipes with 1-3' of snow on the ground.

I searched but the results were very broad and I couldn't get it drilled down enough to find the info I needed.

Unfortunately I know nothing about your motorhome so perhaps someone else does. From your profile:

Depending on the coach you have and the actual temps, typically the underbelly is heated when you run your furnace so you should be fine. You may need to consider a heated water hose from the faucet to the coach and only open your black and grey valves when full so the hose doesn't freeze. We had over a week of 20" of snow and temps of 0-10 degrees and had no issues.

See what others do, but sometimes, some sort of skirting around the edges of the coach to keep the cold wind from blowing under there. If the park will allow it, maybe some hay bales.
