Judy, the heat strip turns the bedroom air conditioner into a small heater if turned on, it is installed inside the air conditioner unit. Won't heat the whole trailer, but would keep the bedroom okay on a cold night, from what we understand (if you have electricity)

Karen, we may have figured out part of the problem with the shower doors (just our opinion). When we first started to open the shower door, we "automatically" grabbed the easiest "handle" which is actually the towel rack and isn't designed to be pulled on. It is just attached to the door through 2 holes and working with stained glass, I had immediate images of what that pull and uneven stress would do to that glass. The actual "handle" to open the shower door is along the side of the shower door. We immediately removed the towel rack and filled the holes with clear silicone as it isn't worth the possible breakage and injury. We also wrote to Mike Spencer with our idea of what "MAY" be causing these breakages. Otherwise, there truly hasn't been a single "problem" with our Big Sky (knock on wood and keeping my fingers crossed)
