Essentially the "warm and toasty" option is now referred to as the Arctic Package which is tested to 0 degrees with no freezing pipes. Last week I was in Idaho Falls in 10 to 15 degree overnight temps and we keep the trailer at 60 during the night with out discomfort. The meat of the package is insulation, R14 in the walls and ceiling and a toasty R21 in the floor. The furnace cycled about every 10 mins., I did go through almost 2 tanks of gas during our 2 week trip to Yuma, but that included running the furnace at 45 during the day while traveling the first 2 days out in sub freezing weather and the last 3 days of our return trip. Also the week we were in Yuma was dry camping so everything ran off of the gas including the DW baking one birthday cake and 2 loaves of bread, it was our maiden voyage so we were testing everything to the max. Our 2955 came through with flying colors. There were no drafts around the slides but you can feel the cold coming off of the windows just like a stick house.
