2008 Canyon Star furnace vents

I have a 2008 Canyon star, I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not there are furnace vents in the basement storage? it's going to get pretty cold here in the next few days with lows in the 20s. We are planning on using the coach in two weeks so I don't want to go through the process of winterizing and dewinterizing for such a short amount of time. I was planning on setting the furnace on 50 degrees in hopes of keeping everything from freezing.

Put the sensor from a remote wireless thermometer in the wet bay and you'll soon discover if it's a heate wet bay or not. These thermometers are useful for outside temperature, (I put it in the open bottom LP compartment) freezer or refrigerator monitor, and or the wet bay. About $10-12 at Walmart, Amazon, etc.

Our 2008 Canyon Star had two very small vents from the furnace plenum into the basement compartments. We supplemented this with 4" ducts from the furnace directly into the compartments as a part of our four season retrofit.

As another poster mentioned we added Wireless thermometers and monitored the temperature of the compartments remotely.

If I remember correctly, before we added these we had to heat the coach to about 70 degrees in order to keep the compartments above freezing in 20 degree weather.
