Suggestion for small 4 season TT please
I know what I need, just not sure where to start looking (brands / models). This is what I need. I'm a little flexible in some areas, like a smaller bed if I really have to. 1) **Truly 4 season**, ...

If you've not read through the first post on the thread linked below, do it. Although the information is primarily derived from RVing in the snow with much lower temps than you'll most likely see, there may be some valuable information gleaned from it. Portland experiences freezing temps, possibly snow, at least a couple times per season. It may not happen every season but freezing temps at least a couple times per season was my experience living on the north west coast of Oregon for 9 years.
Winter RV camping
Thanks, lots of good info in there. Some new, some I figured out the hard way this past winter (my first winter in a TT). I bookmarked it for future reference.
Some nights last winter in Vegas in January were borderline crappy at best. When it hit 28 degrees with winds @35mph sustained, gusting to 70 the heat would run non-stop. The propane bottles were sucked dry quickly. And with the air in Vegas already being so dry the heater running all night would make the air in the TT so dry that my sinuses would bleed at night as I slept. That makes for a fun morning.
I've learned a lot about winterization, moisture control, ventilation and the "terrarium" by trial and error. If I had been staying in this TT I had been planning to add a skirt before winter hit again. As it was I was sucking bottles so quickly that my best solution at the time was to get the park management to agree to allow me to drop a 120 gallon tank that is on a remote monitor / auto-refill schedule.
I don't want to get stuck again needing to resort to that. Unlike most parks this place actually prefers long-term work campers. There are folks that have been here 7-8 years. But most places are not going to let me drop a big tank. And I don't really want to get tied down again like that at the moment. It required a 3 year contract and I'd have to schedule their truck 10-14 days in advance to come get their tank out of my way before I could hook up to the unit to pull out if I wasn't leaving it here for her. That kind of delay could cause big problems at most parks.
