We have been doing some early spring camping. The temps have been in the low 40's. I can now say that I would not want to live in my Montana in the winter time. We kept the inside temp at 70* and still froze. Too much radiant cold coming in the windows and walls. The bedroom slide out has the bed in it. So not only is that colder than the normal walls it also has windows on both sides of the bed.
In a week we went through a bottle and a half of propane. Woke up Easter morning at 5:00AM to no heat and no full bottles of propane. Why is it that we always run out of propane at night? Anyway I guess it was Gods way of making sure we made it to church on time!
I went back home to get the bottle off of my gas grill so we could get ready for church in semi comfort.
Lessons learned:
Fill the tank when it is empty when I switch over.
Do not plan on being as comfortable @70* in the camper as it is @68* in the house.
Be happy that in this economy God has blessed us well enough to let us camp!
