Thanks Tim!
We met you and your wife a couple of years ago at the Grizzly RV park.

Here are pictures of the UltraHeat pads on the pipes. The ones on the valves are narrow and wrap around them. The water inlet freezes easily partly because it is up against the steel trailer frame. When unhooking the water hose (many nights), we let the excess water drain out. There is then not enough water present to damage the pipe when it freezes.
The wiring goes in behind the light switch, up through the floor, and then behind the cabinets to the switches and
12v fuse panel. The wire needs to be adequately heavy to carry the amperage for the heaters.
The switches shown are on the wall next to the stove.
Those odd protrusions out of the black and gray water pipes are the remains of the Micropulse sensors. We retrofitted those sensors and that system has now been replaced by a SeeLevel one.
