On average how long does it take to get the interior of a fifth wheel trailer from 32f to 70f? Assuming a 2016 model with a 30,000 btu furnace. Any experience you've had and would like to share would be appreciated. Just trying to figure out what a reasonable amount of time is to get the unit to a comfortable temperature.
Not sure, we set t-stat at 60 degrees when we leave home, takes about 10 minutes to get to 68 once on site.
The one thing I have noticed is that it really takes about 24 hours to really heat up our 32' 5er. Yes we get to 68 which we are comfortable at within minutes of arrival, if you pay attention to the furnace it cycles more often the first day to truly get heat into the structure.
Also once on site, we may switch from 30,000 btu input (23,400 btu output) gas to 5,000 watt electric (17,060 btu) and this has kept our 32' 5er at the set 68 degrees down to 20 degrees.
