We started our travel from Ontario Canada down to Tucson December 26th so there were several cold nights on route. The best thing we have added to the Monty was a Sunbeam mattress pad heater. It takes a while to get the temperature up each night with the furnace and electric heaters and the mattress still seams cold. The mattress heater takes about 15 minutes from the time you turn it on. The trailer can still be frosty but the bed will be warm as toast. We also have a down filled comforter. It doesn't take much power and one night we didn't have hook-ups so used the Honda 2000. With the low power draw from the mattress heater the Honda ran 10 hours on econo mode and had fuel to spare.
