Glad to hear they did a full PDI with you and showed you how to winterize. Many dealers would use the excuse that it was "already done" and skip it in November. Also glad you discovered how important the Progressive EMS is to save your unit! Surprising how many people just buy a $30 surge protector and think they are all set! They do nothing for high or low voltage or reverse polarity or lack of ground.
Where do you live in Maine? Acadia has some beautiful National Park Campgrounds! Wondered if you had ever visited there before you bought your TT? I am from Lewiston but lived in frozen Madawaska and Caribou as a kid, but always came back to Round pond in the Pemaquid area to my parent's cottage on the water. Now I own it. Nothing better than the coast of Maine in the summertime! Good luck with your new TT!

- We are in Readfield Maine. We didn't go anywhere real nice with our 1976 free TT that not much of anything worked.:) I bet you enjoy Pemaqid. Have picked up the TT and its home. I was out in it until 2am last night.:D Wife told me this morning see would like to eat supper in it soon. I burned up some gas last night and think a oil fired heater may be something I look into. The TT cools down fast when the heat turns off. I don't think I like the heated underbelly. A lot of cold air comes up the ducks after furnace shuts off. But I do love the camper and its all ready fun and its cold out.

I think you will appreciate the thermal underbelly when you are camping in the Fall and temps drop to the 20's. It will protect your water lines and tank valves underneath by ducting heat from the furnace. Since you are winterized now and just want to enjoy being in it at your home, or watching TV or eating in it, my suggestion is to get a couple small electric heaters with thermostats ( Walmart) for about $24-29 each to heat the camper quicky when you are in it and not burn valuable propane. You don't need to heat the underbelly since it is winterized. Make sure you get heaters with a tip over shut-off switch! That is all we use to heat our TT when we need heat as long as it is above freezing when we are camping. The electric at campgrounds is included and those heaters work great, heat the camper right up fast and cost nothing to operate at a campground. We have 2 of them but have only ever needed 1. They have high, med and low heat and are fanforced ceramic. Try at least one. You will be amazed how fast they will heat it up. I assume you have your TT plugged in at your home.
