We stayed in southern Ohio until the day after Christmas. Temps probably weren't as severe as Wisconsin, but we did have overnights in the 20's with a couple dips into the teens and days ranging from just above freezing to the low 40's. We burned a 30lb. propane tank every other day. We covered our water hose with those foam pipe insulaters with a heat tape inside. We had no freezing problem and inside was comfortable. We did not use the fresh water tank. I will admit that there were a couple days that I was concerned that we might freeze up. When we left the temps were above freezing, so we didn't need to run the furnace on the road, although that was an option.

Next year the thought is to camp farther south. For years we drove 2 1/2 hours from the stick house to the kids for Christmas. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we can do the same thing from a warmer location.
