Bad issues at Rv.

With the cold weather now in place. JT has a major issue at the rv. "Heater wont run and went down to 2 inside and everything FROZE. All pipes, faucets, toilet, paint, bottles of water, cats water dish, etc.... still trying to thaw everything out to access $$$ damage and also fix heater. Have no clue why it shut off and why it wont fire up. Plenty of propane and stove works." Update," Got heater running after a big cleaning .. might be a coincidence or maybe dust in a sensor. Blue flame propane heater running at composter. Electric heater in pump and pipe area, inside heater set at 70. Waiting till pipes thaw to see if any damage. Hot water heater is OK I drained that and it looks ok, but pump and all pipes are frozen solid. Hope to thaw in a few hours." Lets hope the damage is minimal. We do have a spare water pump for the RV in case it needs to be replaced. To all future Montello dwellers, the winters are brutal out here and a small issue can turn into a big one very rapidly.

sounds like he's getting a handle on it. is there anything he needs? please let me know. I'm in Logan right now, but can likely sneak away if he needs another set of hands, a heater, etc.

How's JT and the RV doing? I do hope it's an easy fix with minimal problems. If in case JT needs any parts from Salt Lake Let me know I can get them out there to him.

Everything is better thanks. Heater is running. Got new batteries for our battery bank, now just need some sun and/or wind to charge everything back up. THANKS!!!
