Some good ideas on thread
We have an Olympian Wave 8 that will keep main cabin of 34' 5th wheel in low 60s when outside is in teens. The Open Range series are inexpensive but have R30 top and bottom and R9 on side. We bought the double pane window option and are happy we did.
We have worried about freezing pipes in basement (main luggage compartment) but we leave on one or two of the 30 W halogen lamps at night and it keeps the basement in mid to high 30s when 10 F outside. We have 9.6 kW of LFP so this is no problem.
The LFP are not supposed to be charged at high C when below freezing so we shall put a small electric heater in the front luggage compartment to keep the temperature above freezing. It is to be noted that we are "Goldilockers" as in "not to hot and not to cold, just right!" However, we still have spent nights down to below 10 F and have to worry about damaging the battery suite.
