Thank you both for your responses!  I have the furnace running and the water heater switched to shore power thinking that would keep the water in the water heater hot.  Daytime temperatures will be in the 50's, and after a low of 29 on Wednesday, the rest of the week is all above freezing. So then I can devote my attention to this leveling thing.  Got 3 weeks left to be ready for prime time!  Thanks again.

Thanks for all the fish.

If it is only dipping down to 29 and warming back up the next day, you should be okay. A small heater would not hurt and would bring piece of mind.

If you have a small electric heater, just run it. It will keep the inside of the Pod toasty. Otherwise, just run the furnace - set to about 50-60 degrees.

I have camped into the low 20's and had no issues. How cold is it going to get?

Just got my R-Pod Tuesday in Ohio where it was 75 degrees.  Now my weather forecast says it's going to be below freezing the next four nights in Maine!  How do I prevent my water lines/water heater from freezing???  If I plug into AC power, will keeping the water hot prevent the freezing?  Do I have to drain the water heater? Save my bacon, please!
Thanks for all the fish.
