We have found keeping the pocket door at the top of the stairs closed at night keeps the bedroom a few degrees warmer at night. Heck, if your layout allows it, keeping the bedroom slide closed at night will keep it warmer. We do that when we overnight leaving south for winter vacation.

It will be no picnic unless you have a very expensive and well-built 5th wheel that'll cost as much or more than many houses.
It rarely snows here and when it does, it doesn't stick around. People from the area told me it snowed once last year. That's not to say that it can't snow and won't, I mean, look at what happened in Texas last year. I am not going anywhere and will deal with whatever weather is thrown my way. I just want to prepare the best I can for what may or may not happen.
