I used the Pipe Wrap Insulation insulation on all of my water lines. It is available for different size pipes. I added Styrofoam insulation in several places. I think the fiberglass insulation is a waste of time. I removed the bottom panel (under the TC) to access the holding tanks. I insulated the water lines and added Styrofoam around the tanks. I used this Foam in difficult areas. While the underside is open, check where the heater duct empties into the tank area. I extended my duct to dump on the drain valves, which were on the opposite side of the valves/tank.
I also made window inserts/covers using Double Reflective Insulation. I also use this in the summer to block the super hot sun out.They easily store under my mattress until needed. Actually you could use this material in several places.
With my Wave3, I definitely leave a couple of windows open about a 1/2" or more. I only see two settings on the Wave, low and high. I use open windows to control the temperature, but also reduce humidity. I leave a window by my pillow slightly open for fresh air while sleeping and also leave the dinning table window slightly open to allow air flow. I installed a Window/Maxx years ago. Absolutely great, wind rain or whatever. I never completely close the window.
I never fully close the bathroom vent, always open a little. I have a vent cover for the bathroom vent. The one I have is this Turbo/Maxx Deluxe Model without the fan. I replaced my bathroom fan with a Fantastic type unit.
