This is my first winter with my 1983 toy MH. I live in the high dessert & nights get well below freezing often. Two different shops told me two different things. One said I must have a bypass setup installed for hot water heater protection (or put 7 gals of anti freeze in it). The second one said that was not necessary, they would just drain the hot water heater & put the anti freeze in the usual areas. Any suggestions at all would be very much appreciated. My plan is also to cover my RV with a tarp & not a full RV cover. We get very little rain, just occasional snow. Thank you!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for your great ideas. I just returned from a 3 day camping trip. Not only did I smell the propane, but when I opened the fridge a really awful smell came from it, down by the bottom. Fridge was clean & no spoiled food. So now I'm beginning to regret my purchase!
I have a guy coming out tp my house next week to check it all out. I really like the idea for pulling out the stove to check for leaks. Next (if necessary) I'll try a propane shop. Don't understand why the speciality RV service shops can't figure this out!!!!
Thanks, again, for all your suggestions. I'm listening!!!!!!!

I jus bought a 1982/83 Toyota Minilite in great condition with only 35K miles. Everything inside in original condition, barely worn at all. Outside looks great too. The only problem is I smell propane inside . I've taken it to 2 different RV service depts & had it checked. Both places show no leaks. They put the leak gauge on it, sprayed foam to look for leaks & tightened everything inside & out. Yet, I still smell gas about 45 min after I turn on the propane. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! I'm brand new at RVing too!

Thank you everyone for the very helpful replys. It seems to me that awhile back tho things were simpler. I don't remember putting any RV anti freeze in our campers or trailers back in the 60's & even the 70's & I don't remember having any problems with things freezing. Wish I knew what it was that my husband used to do back then. MyToyota RV is a 1983 with no by-pass system. My question is, if anyone remembers, what did we do before by-pass & RV antifreeze to keep our RV's from freezing??? Anyone out there old enough to know??? Thanks heaps for any ideas!!!!!!
