Artic pack

I could not find any paper work on my 2015 georgetown 377xl. Getting cold up here and need to know more. What does the arctic pack protects? I know it warm up the fresh water tank but what about black, grey, pipings etc?

The arctic pac should be on all of the lo point and elbows. When looking at mine nothing from the holding tanks back, since all the drains are supposed to be somewhat direct. I did not see anything on my unit for the black I did see some protection for the shower drain. Hope this helps.

There are heater pads on the fresh, black, & gray tanks. I have a GT 360 and can see them and their wires.

The Artic Pack is automatic just turn on the switch and they will turn on at approx. 35 degrees and will keep everything from freezing. It will not hurt if a tank is empty, we use it and our fresh water tank is empty on city water now.

The artic pack likes batteries, it will drain them QUICK if you're not plugged in.

Hi,

Please confirm they are automatic when the switch is turned on? At what temps should one turn in the switch?

Thanks

They are on there own thermostat. Mine come on I think at 40 degrees read at the tank and go off at 60 degrees. I only turn mine on if I know it will be close to freezing... I do not own a Georgetown, but they are all the same.
