Gary, this is our second winter "workamping - taking care of our granddaughter" in the Chicago area and this is what we have done:

1. Used the 3M film on the outside of our windows, then covered them with our Arizona sunscreens. We left the film and sunscreens on all year.

2. Covered the air conditioner.

3. Wrapped all water lines with heat tape.

4. Put a styrofoam outside faucet cover on the low point drains.

5. Covered exposed hoses in storage bay with foam pipe covers.

6. Installed holding tank heat pads on all tanks - black, both grey and water.

7. Put 2" insulation board on top of slides.

We use electric heaters in addition to the furnace and have been comfy. I think this is our last winter here, but all of this work will give us a lot of flexibility in the future!!

Happy Holidays!
