Hey gang. We're approaching our first winter in our "Silverstream" -- as our friends still mistakenly call it.
2007 Safari 27FB -- Granted we're in Texas, but have a few nagging questions thought you might be able to help us answer. Most of the time we're hooked to shore power -- except for weekends when we're usually in a state park somewhere.
Okay, here goes in no particular order ... is the furnace enough to avoid freezing tanks on super cold nights? If we use an oil radiated heater (plugged into an outlet) rather than the furnace because it can be annoyingly loud and prone to propane intoxication, will the tanks be vulnerable? We've been told that heat tape isn't needed for anything except maybe the waterhose if we intend to stay hooked up -- which we don't. Usually in winter, we disconnect it at night and reconnect in the morning before our shower. We imagine we will also put our bubbled solar insulation in our panoramic windows on both ends as well. Finally, how does the darn heat pump work? It seems to blow cold air -- okay, maybe slightly warm. Thanks in advance. Oh, our last rig was an all season, and we can already tell it's nippier than we expected. But how fun...it's like camping! Wouldn't trade it even if our noses fell off. I digress.
