Does the Jayco "thermal" package include double pane windows or storm windows?
I upgraded our extended season package as there was some things I just did not trust and I could not find anyone or where it was stated, how cold can you go? Some things I did do.
- Added flex foil to the tank coroplast cover to help on the insulation. Both black and gray tank valves are inside the cover. Our tank comportment also has 1" foam board insulation on all sides.
- Added an ambient air temp sensor inside the tank compartment to measure the temp in that compartment, before I went wet in the cold.
- Insulated the shower trap pipe hanging right next to the Darco membrane
- Unhooked the outside shower and insulated the compartment.
- Insulated the shore power cord door.
- Clear wrapped the windows (a big deal)
- Dehumidifier and vent both
We have been down to 10 to 19F and the tank compartment only went to 46F. When the furnace runs, it was 85F down there...
Cold weather camping can be fun. And no bugs... and low crowds. Nothing like having and entire state park CG to yourself...
