Gray Water Tank Heat Pads and Heat tape -DIY

Make your gray water tank and drain pipes 4 season with heat pads and heat tape. I also insulated the pipes using Armaflex to give it further protection from the cold. I did a 9ft drain pipe for the sink that runs the width of the van plus the shower drain that was right above the gray water tank.

The parts that I used for this are in the Amazon store!
