I thought the pads were good while enroute but once you arrive can you survive with the furnace. I'm not sure if the models with the 12v pads are designed differently? |
No need for heat pads.
The furnace will provide adequate heat to keep the tanks from freezing.
When your towing, in freezing weather, keep the furnace set to about 55 degrees. The battery will not run down, but make sure you have plenty of LPG in the tanks.
Then, when you get in the trailer, you won't be greeted with a freezing atmosphere.
What year and length Airstream do you have?
