I have a '14 35' Cougar. I actually heated it up from 28 degrees to 70 this weekend. It took a couple hours to get it up to 50 then I realized that I had 2 of the roof vents partially open. Since heat rises it was just going out the roof rather heating the trailer. Once I shut the vents it heated much quicker but I would not call it fast.
Our 30000 btu furnace is at the very rear of the trailer and has only 3 floor ducts. The bedroom duct runs under the floor for 25 feet so at 28 degrees that is a long distance in a barely heated under floor area. Even with the artic package I think trying to heat a TT in windy 28 degrees is a lot to ask. We also used an electric space heater for the night and was very comfortable with the furnace cycling about every 20 minutes.
