Past Heartland Ambassador
We are in our ninth year of fulltiming living...six years of that in a Bighorn and this past year in our 2013 Landmark. NEVER in our wildest dreams did we ever think we would be stuck anywhere in -3 degree temps...but here we sit, waiting to start work in McMinnville, TN!!
With only the additional use of the factory installed fireplace and one oil-filled electric radiator we have stayed amazingly comfortable. We are having NO problem keeping the temp inside to a nice warm 69 degrees...AND the furnace is only cycling once every hour for 15-20 minutes!! I really was afraid we would burn through propane very quickly, but that has not been the case, and there are no drafts to speak of. The large slide where the recliners sit is colder, especially near the floor, but I placed the radiator between my recliner and the table...solved that issue!
We do have dual pane windows and the yetti package...in addition, we did stuff batten insulation in the UDC, both propane compartments and the inside rear area of the outside entertainment center (one area that the factory needs to look at...not insulated at all)...did not want frozen water anywhere or the propane system to stop functioning...better safe than sorry. Everything has worked perfectly!!
We always knew these Heartland rigs would do well in cold temps, however, never wanted to be a test "dummy"...LOL
Thanks Again Heartland for making us such a wonderful rolling home!!
