Hi all! This is my first post as I just traded into a 2001 Montana 3280RL from a Flagstaff Lightweight travel trailer. One night in it in northern Michigan with temps below 30 degrees convinced me that it is fairly well insulated. The floor was warm and drafts were minimal. We would have had blue lips in the lightweight unit!

Since the windows will always radiate cold temps, we use the silver bubble sheet insulation and slide it between the shades and windows near bed areas at night. This keeps cold air from radiating on you while sleeping. Also, a trick I didn't see anyone mention regarding fresh water inlet freeze is to let one of your faucets in the unit trickle to keep water flowing through it.

Thanks for the nice forum. Look forward to learning much here!
