Winter camping in a 2003 Sunova 30B?
Can you winter camp in a 2003 Sunova 30B? I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer. Is the water compartment where the tanks are located heated and are all the water lines in a "heated" space?

- We used our 2001 Adventurer for winter camping several times. We had no problems with temperatures in the 13*F to 17*F. The holding tank compartments are heated by air circulated from the gas furnace. You'll need to keep the thermostat set to 60*F or higher. In the low to mid teens the furnace will use a fair amount of LP.
You only have an 18 gallon LP tank, so you won't be able to stay more than a few days in cold temperatures unless you add something like an extend a stay valve and additional propane tanks.
Here's a link to an extend a stay propane valve:

Didn'the use the artic pac tank feature. Dumped a gallon pink stuff in black and gray tank, took fresh water hose off. Was good to go. That way for about a week. I am sure the tanks were enclosed.
