We really are doing great and I wasn't sure what to expect.
It's 16 degrees this morning and the furnace has been set at 64 and cuts off when it warms up. :). Furnace doesn't stay off long, seeing ~9-10min cycles off, & 4 min on. We had it on 68, but that was to warm for us. should have known since 62 is what we sleep in back home. Haha
I had engineered hardwood floors installed ~ 1 1/2 years ago and they stay pretty warm as well. Ducting is in the floor. I did bring 2 sleeping bags and used them to fill the gap under the large slide in the living room and appear to have no draft from under the slide. We have a few rugs, but again, the floor is not really cold. Coldest place seems to be back of RV passenger side floor where our small slide is, buts it's not freezing, just colder then most and I notice it since that's my side and where I place my bare feet in the morning getting up. :). Still not bad though.
Overall, I'm very happy with how the RV is handling the cold. We've already been through a low of 15, high of 28 last Thursday and I'm not concerned about the next 3-4 days of highs in the 20's & lows ~10. Got plenty of propane to make it until we head out Wednesday as I topped off last Friday heading into the long weekend.
Stay warm and Happy New Year!!
