We have lived all winter in our current Monty and a previous SOB for 6 years in NW GA where the temps often drop to the teens and twenties. He have a heated hose now but in the past were in a CG where they shut the water off if it dropped below 20 so we would keep fresh water tank half full to use on those nights. We run the fireplace for weeks on end and find when freezing is an issue the furnace will still run enough to keep the basement warm. The fireplace will take the chill off but can't fully heat your rig when it's below freezing. I leave the grey tanks open and the black tank closed. Concerned with valves freezing shut but it is very unlikely in the black tank as you have a fairly saline content there. Big difference we've noticed in the Monty is this one has dual pane windows and it is much more comfortable in the cold. Last year we added a 100# propane tank that makes life better. Others have mentioned high usage of propane the it is a fact of life in cold weather and you will be filling those tanks every couple of days.
