Good deal. Re-settable fuses is not absolute. Just make sure you have spares. Re-settable just act as small circuit breakers. Enjoy your RV.

Again, thanks to all who welcomed us to the forum. We are spending our first RV winter in Marion, NC. It has been a mild winter and so far we have only had to buy 2 30lb tanks of propane. We have a DR Heater in the RD and a Walmart Quartz heater in the kitchen and the RV stays warmer than my brick&morter. We have been very comfortable so far with some Temps in the low 20s for a few nights. I'm not ready to move to Montana yet. I purchased a heated hose and 35gal insulated trash can for outside water connections and it seems to be working fine. I'm trying to find a way to connect my Camco water filter in the basement so it will not freeze. Water in the heated hose is pretty nasty! All in all I am VERY happy with my 3791RD. It escaped the factory with no major defects and is serving us well during this non-camping season.

I just reread your original post and realized we stayed in Tanglewood on our way home from visiting our daughters on the east coast. Great Campground! Magnificent trees.
We loved the festival of lights.

Daryles,
If you should go to Tanglewood again in 2020 we are hosts there again from March through the first Monday in December. Stop by Site# 45, introduce yourself, and sit awhile!

[Daryles]

Thank you. We will

I just fixed our neighbor's 2020 3791RD with a 15A fuse, removed the self resetting fuse. Furnace works as expected now.

Have been in our 2020 3791RD SSF about a month. Other than the oven not staying lit and the stove top burners going out when on low we love our rig. The residential refrigerator is great. I think the solar is a little undersized for the winter months and plan to add another 500watts.
