Bill Hill, congratulations on the new Montana!

As for driving in cold weather, for just a couple of hours you'll probably be fine without the furnace running. When we run in subfreezing weather we set the furnace thermostat at 45, the lowest setting, just to be sure nothing freezes. We've done this several times without problem. Some folks prefer not to run the furnace on the road. If they are in danger of freezing I think they pump some antifreeze through the system then de-winterize when they reach their destination or at least warmer weather. The choice is yours.

We did not get the dual-paned windows but wish we had. We spend much of the winter in a cold area. To help with drafts we use the 3M window film. It helps but I'd still like to have the dual-panes.
