Update to the furnace and propane.

Part of me feels like a total dummy.

You know those vents in the stairs? The ones that go to the basement and probably act as air return for the furnace?

Well, we had closed those off during Summer to keep the rig cooler. I opened 'em up and the furnace seems to be operating more efficiently.

DUH.

I'm also keeping a tower heater running in the living room and the furnace - still set at 65 - isn't coming on as much.

That being said, when this Nor'easter blows in tomorrow and temps drop to single digits and subzero, I'm sure our beloved furnace will be cranking no matter what.

Honestly, I love being a full-time RVer. Grew up with travel trailers and it's in my genes, literally, thanks to Dad. Always an adventure, always learning, always living Life a bit on the edge and as full as possible.
