Anybody on this forum who advises people that they can winter in a TT should be banned for this very reason - regardless of how many vents you leave open. Makes you wonder why you would heat a space in sub zero temps while needing to leave holes open iin the ceiling.

LOL! Still have photos of dad standing outside his tent in just his cowboy boots and skivvies on a snow covered mountain side. He lived in that tent the entire winter. And amazingly he survived despite his evil wood stove that didn't suffocate him or burn his tent down. Don't forget, people die that way all the time... in their sticks and bricks homes. The event that spurred this thread is a terrible tragedy, but what does it have to do with people using or even living in their RVs in the winter?
