Why don't you just blow the water out of the LG at the end of the day? It would be easy. Open quick connect on one side, air compressor on the other side.

These issues are the very biggest reason to stick with a standard commercial van when you live in a cold climate and don't have a huge garage to store the box. I have 2 commercial vans being kept nice and toasty inside my standard 2 car garage. I'm don't mean to rub your nose in it but think you might have a much easier time with a conventional van.

Russell I agree my back up van is in the third stall garage. My garage is heated. Love that. I cant even get a 175 machine in my van. I got nooooooooooo room. Box trucks are waaaay overrated. But I need the room. My 56 Blower unit is so huge it wont fit in a van. Im fooked.

Why don't you just insulate your box truck. It cost me exactly $400 to insulate mine. Plug it in at the end if the day and it never has froze. KISS!
Draper I have it insulated very well with thick sheets of Styrofoam covered by plywood covered with carpet I think the floor is my problem just. Carpet going to have somebody spray foam underneath its been fooken cold

You can't blow the water out of a LG heater. IF you try, you will only remove the water from the top 2-3 inches at best.
Waldo, I figured out damn quickly that draining the heater is a foolproof way of keeping it from freezing.
My van needs to be insulated. The damned thing was set up for Las Vegas weather, not middle of nowhere in Nebraska weather. For that matter, I need to replace the van with one that has a gas engine! Stupid Diesel is about 90 cents higher than regular unleaded here, and the diesel doesn't like to start very well when it is cold out (and I do have an engine block heater)

Vacuum it.
We did that during the Feb 2009 Ice storm that had power off here for 19 days.
NO water = NO freeze.
