Thanks of all the great info. We still aren't sure what were doing. We had planned on getting a 500 or 1000 gal propane tank as we will be using propane at the house any way so we could tie into that. DRV are nice units but are way $$$. we have thought about renting but most 3 bedroom apt to rent where we are would be at minimum 1500/month plus security etc and most have 12 month leases which we wouldn't need. so our theory was to get what we needed in an RV to use on our other property on waterfront and use whatever rent money we would be throwing away into the RV then continue to pay it off as its moved upstate. We aren't fond of just throwing a lot of $$ out the window renting. Any thoughts on Open Range 3x?? They seem to be little better at winter packages than maybe Jayco but i see Jayco has purchased them.

I was thinking the same thing; a park model, at minimum. Don't waste time on a 100 gal propane tank. Go 500 or even 1,000 gal. It doesn't take much ice on even a shallow grade to keep that delivery truck from getting to you, and having that extra fuel could literally be life-saving. You'll also pay less the more they deliver. Even with skirting, put a couple 100 watt bulbs underneath to keep pipes warm. Don't forget that on a FW, that overhang in the front opens up a =lot= of surface area that will bleed warmth, no matter how well insulated.
