Carolyn, we, of course, are on the same bandwagon as y'all! Our furnace runs more than it doesn't. Even with the fireplace and maybe a tower heater. But, this rig is warmer than my other one. There's a reason it's still in Georgia. It would not even come close to keeping us warm up here.
Duane, something that really helped us was to purchase a plug in 110V baseboard heater. We put it in the slide behind our recliners and it makes a noticeable difference. The chill isn't as noticeable. For the past few weeks, we haven't even used the baseboard heater.
We do have a large rented external LP tank that we have filled every month or so. The nonsense of having to fill those little tiny LP tanks every other day got old fast. Using this rig or even living in it fulltime, like us, in the cold is doable. It's like puttin a puzzle together. Find where you lose heat and stop the heat loss. We have added insulation on top of insulation. We have added the baseboard heater. And we let the furnace run. Because right now, LP is cheaper than gasoline!!!!
