Good to hear from you. How would you rate your winter there? Ours was pretty mild. I'm sure the snow skirting work well for you, but how did you use less propane?

I'm using less propane *now* that the weather has warmed up.

duh, here I'm thinking you found some neat way to skirt the trailer or balance the heat output. I guess I didn't think that one through.

Was there a temperature that got so low it was uncomfortable, pipes froze?

I was never uncomfortable, I was able to stay warm all the time. The pipes froze up when temps got down well below -10 because I didn't have great skirting and heat under the trailer.

Were traveling from the Midwest to the Yellowstone area next month by way of I-80. I looked online for ORV dealer in WY., but the one WY. only listed one ORV unit in it's inventory. After our 20 day stay in that area we are heading to KY. Besides Denver....any other ORV dealers that carry a good inventory of ORV products?

I was even thinking about going further west after our stay in WY., but I have only 4 travel days to get to KY.

While in Cincinnati ( summer of 15') we did look at the Lance tt's, but I found them too small. It's not to say any new floorplan will be a better fit. (Need to sleep 3 adults and be 25' to 29')

I only have the two near Denver and the one in Wyoming on my pin map. There are two Northwood's RV dealers in Colorado also.

Imho a 4 season trailer is a 4 season tent without frozen pipes.
