Running heater when RV is covered
I have a 4-seasons 5th wheel that I recently put a cover on for the summer. If I leave that cover on can I still run the furnace over the winter to keep the underbelly warm?

4-season trailer is kind of a joke. - Really, it's just marketing hype. I'll run an oil filled radiant heater to keep from winterizing for short periods and/or if the temps are too cold. Otherwise, I just drain out the water, blow out the lines and pour anti-freeze in the tanks.
I respectfully disagree! Yes... per cublc foot of heated area, it will require more heating than a well insulated stick and mortar home. And, I will not hesitate to use my camper at a -20 F and below.... and have done so!
It's simply a matter of construction.... you can't run a Ford Pinto in the Indy 500 for numerous reasons! :R
