Location: missouri | My husband refuses to "winterize" our LQ.... he leaves it plugged in with a heater that comes on when it gets below 40*... I know it adds another $50. to our electric bill! Any advice? If I got a vote, I would blow the system out with the compressor and close it up til spring. |

Location: NC | We winterize and plug in that way if the power does go out the lines won't freeze.Its a lot less difficult to winterize than to replace LQ water lines, tanks, etc. |

Location: silt co | Our Sundowner is left plugged in for the winter. It is winterized but if left hot the batteries stay charged and the compressor for the air ride also works. The compressor rarely runs and I prefer the air bags to stay inflated. Also, I have lights to see if my mouse traps have caught anything. Electric heat is used for a short time before we leave for a winter show or if I need to do any work on the LQ. |

Location: Missouri | I winterize our and leave the power disconnected. If you choose to leave it plugged in, check the water in your battery(s) monthly. The typical charger circuit most LQ have in them will boil the batteries dry. I know, one year I left it plugged in, by spring the battery was bone dry. |
