We can make the camper pretty toasty with the fireplace and 2 ceramic heaters plugged in. Our last trip it dipped into the mid-20s and the furnace only kicked on once all night. We were pulling 44 amps at one point with those 3 heaters, the water heater on electric, and a few lights, the fridge, and a mini fridge all operating, as well as the usual power vampires that exist in our rigs. While the basement was a bit chilly the next morning, it was nowhere near freezing. These rigs leak a lot of heat - we've been camping in snow several times where there were several inches on the ground, but none on the ground in the immediate vicinity of the Monty. I have a neighbor who plugs a 100W light bulb in and puts it is the basement as an added precaution. I haven't tried that yet.
