Traveling with the furnace running

Have a small fifth wheel, very little insulation, heading to FL in February from MA.

I know some folks shut off the gas while traveling, I'm not of tha camp and have no problem running the fridge on gas while I travel. Any reasons I can't run the furnace? Do folks do such? I have read where motorhomes are designed to be able to run with the furnace on, does that hold true of fifth wheels and trailers too?

  • Probably could run it......I know in my 5ver.......if it is really cold when I get to a new spot....it takes less than 5 minutes to heat the trailer after stopping.
