We had a situation that required living in a Travel Trailer throughout the winter stationary. I had no site, no pad, no utilities. My main concern was of coarse freezing water, I designed and built a pedestal that I am very confident will do the trick, relatively inexpensive, I will post photos to go along, here is a brief explanation of the process. 1- start with 4- 2x12's Pressure Treated, build and 8' tall hollow box securing the 4 pieces together securely with screws. 2- coat the entire Post with good stain or preservative 3- measure up post approximate 5' spray glue and wrap the bottom 5' with 1/2" foam board. Use this foam board to line the exterior and interior 4- assuming all your utilities are underground at least 4', notch the bottom of the post to allow all utilities to run up through the hollow center of your post 5- back fill Plumb tamp dirt Now that your post is installed with all your utilities coming up the hollow middle you are ready to terminate everything . One more thing I did, I cut a door in the backside of the post to allow access and make terminating easier. For the electric I purchased an actual campground box with cover, it was wired for a 30--50 amp and 110 outlet. I also installed two water outlets, one for the Rig, one for whatever, and phone, cable TV, Cat5 etc...I hinged the back access door, installed a barrel bolt, and weather stripped the stops. I built a concrete cover to close off the top, you can use wood, plastic, anything that is water proof. I also placed 2" foam under the cap. Now for the heat. Because we are down 4-5 ' some heat will come up through the hollow center, in addition I installed one Reptile heating pad, I is self stick, sits just below all the plumbing, and heats the whole interior. It comes through a small hole and plugs in to the 110 outlet. Lastly I purchased the hose with the built in heating element and installed 2 foam covers over the hose bibs, one has a hole in the underside for the hose connection. I will follow up with photos, if anyone has any questions I am happy to answer...G

Gene - I for one would like to see the pictures, sounds like a really good setup.

Finally here are some photos, the last one shows the heating pad, enjoy......

Nice setup Gene!

Thanks, I enjoyed designing and building it.....

First rate work, Cap.
