Youll need a volumous source of propane. 100 dollars a week is probably going to be the norm in WI in winter. You really need to figure out how yo seal the open underside of your MH. Hay bails would be ideal but then you would have varment problems. So a framework covered with foam insulation board and something over that certainally would work. Since you want to be off grid a heat lamp is our of the question. But you really also need a heat source under the MH. This will help prevent pipes from freezing
I had thought about straw however that is not a good idea due to mice but more importantly, the fire hazard.
I am thinking maybe some 4" thick pink insulation board wrapped around the skirting with plywood. Under I can use standard insulation placed up in the undercarriage temporarily yet easily removed if I need to.
The biggest thing though is trying to find a way to cover/insulated all the vents and areas that allow heat out and cold in... especially all the single pane windows which are thin as hell and not made for heat or cold protection.. I really do not want to tape plastic over them all either because it limits being able to see out and that does not really help anyway. I was thinking perhaps having some heavy wool or cotton 'shades' that could be hung for each window using clips that allow for partial or complete easy removal..
Am open to any other suggestions...
