Phil, yes Nexus really bumped up the furnace on our coach. Even at 35K BTU, it doesn't burn that much propane as it runs for relatively short intervals {about 5 minutes every 15 or so}. I attribute this to the overall energy efficiency of the coach. I love having the thermostat right next to our rear queen... very handy if you need to bump it up a few degrees in the wee pre-dawn hours. :B
The walls and ceilings are very well insulated, they use a large vacuum bonding machine utilizing Azdell, fiberglass, and foam. Once you get the coach warm, and it does not take long, it holds the heat {or cooler air from the AC in summer} very well. Another bonus is how quiet the interior is. A decent generator running in the next site goes unheard.
The rig came with DC tank heaters that I rarely use but with temps in the mid-thirties with the possibility of mid-twenties I turned them on more for exercise than out of any concerns of freezing. Another nice feature are the remote controlled heated mirrors.
We usually stay at the lower elevations during the colder months but temps down into the 20's are not all that rare during winter in the high Sonoran Desert as we enjoy our coach throughout the year.
