   If the water heater and furnace are running, they have sufficient heat to prevent the water heater from freezing and since all but the pickup hose to the fresh water tank run inside, the probability of the water system freezing on an overnight freeze (unless it is sub-zero) is minute. We have camped a number of nights with the fresh water tank full or nearly full and not had a problem with frozen lines. The only time it did freeze was when the pickup line froze while we were driving through Texas when the weather did not get above freezing the following day. Once it did, we were okay.

	This is a pretty basic video for those who will find themselves in an overnight freeze situation in their Pods. We ran into this when in FL during some cold overnight temps. Again, basic tips on what we did. ~PP https://youtu.be/kfj1fcn6nok
