Slide cover for snowy weather

Re: the mattress warmer, I bought that but our outlets don’t work when we aren’t hooked up to electricity, which of course we’re not when parked in the ski area parking lot. Do you have another solution, like a generator?

...Typical nighttime lows would be in the 20s, teens at the lowest. We’ll keep the vent open and just keep the heat at low all day while skiing (and the slide closed), then open up and keep the heat around 60 at night. Hoping to keep condensation to a minimum while preserving LP for the 48 hour trip.

Our tanks and pipes are insulated and exposed to heated air, so I don’t think i need to do the type of winterization you’re talking about, right? How do you keep things from freezing up while towing/en route? I’m supposed to turn the LP and heater off, right?

I'm happy something was useful to you.
As the poster previous to this mentioned I have 12V mattress warmers, having 2 6V golf cart batteries is what makes this possible a single 12 V will barely run the unit stock let alone at cold temps.

Vents cracked at night to let moisture out, running your furnace while skiing MAY kill your battery. more than likely you'll only be using the "tanks" black/ grey for going potty, not cooking so much. IF you put some RV anti-freeze in the tanks they should be alright in the temps you predict.
As to fresh water.... either keep it winterized ( no water in the system) or keep it warm the whole time to prevent problems... more batteries more propane.
Personally, I'd keep jugs of water and not risk it or at the minimum keep the hot water tank empty?
Traveling with Propane on is a personal choice, plenty of threads covering the pros and cons.... and a subject that many have very divided opinions on.

Have fun and let us know what you went with.

Those 12 V mattress heaters are worth every cent, keeping the coach unheated at night saves battery juice and propane... the first one up, turns the heaters on.
