We are also using the Aluminum insulation that we cut for each window and skylight. It does hold the heat out - but can't see out and don't like that either but will use if for this winter also. (We use our unit a lot on the Eastern Plains of Colorado and it gets extremely hot in the summer.)

This is our first year with a 2000 Montana 5th wheel trailer. We live in Aurora, CO and plan to use our Unit in October and November. Are concerned about having our water lines freeze up inside the unit. Has anyone had this happen to them???

Secondly, while hooking up to a water supply (via garden hose) what is the best way to keep that from freezing? We were thinking about looking into heat tape to wrap the hose -- does this work or does someone have a better idea. We would put the water in the holding tank but the water isn't good (out on the Eastern plains of Colorado) where we will be staying so we hate to put that in our tank. Hopefully, the garden hose will work if we can keep it from freezing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
