We ran the fireplace in the morning, as we turned the thermostat down at night, and the radiator was used in the main living area as it is more area to heat...this allowed the furnace to cycle mainly just to keep the belly warm using much less propane.
Regardless of what some think our mass produced rig has very good insulation (as much as you can in most RV's). We have a heated belly, heated tanks and main water line, dual panes, etc. I would put it up against just about anything out there. Fact is our neighbors at that time had a Mobile Suite and their water manifold froze which was in their supposedly heated storage area...we spent several hours thawing it out for them.
We go where the work is, unfortunately this past year middle TN had it's coldest winter on record and we had to deal with it...turned out to be a piece of cake...there are units other then the "mighty few" that most people feel are the only 4 season units, that are up to the task and warranted as such...
