I haven't looked- but my concern is I have about 6 inches of BARE WIRE exposed from the dump valve handles until they go up inside the coroplast.
Of cpurse they are right behind the wheels and I'm concerned with spray getting on them and freezing the cables inside the sheath...as I said, I WD40'd the wires....

Could be a project... :shock:

After towing in weather, I'd just give them a good look and apply heat to thaw them. I know I had some "areas" that gave me trouble last winter and applying heat usually took care of it. WD is a good start to help the process along though.

This has turned out to be a non issue. Now the ever PITA dump valve cap that either freezes on from the inside or gets covered in ice/slush and frrezes on is another story. :roll:

I wonder if one tied a bag around it??

Perhaps a mudflap might protect it from the raveges of the road?
