We leave Ontario, Canada in December every year, and head for California. We are usually in freezing temps when we leave. Last year, it was around 10F while we were traveling, and it was two days before we were far enough south to be above freezing.
Because we are fulltimers, we have never winterized our rig, and we travel in cold temps with the furnace on and set to 60F. We find that propane use while traveling is not excessive, but we have double-glazed windows, which probably help a lot.
We haven't experienced any issues with the furnace or plumbing. We have a Yamaha 3000is generator in the truck bed, which we run continuously when furnace use is heavy. The charging line from the truck is not sufficient to keep the rig batteries up, because we have a Samsung refrigerator running from an inverter, which is also pulling from the batteries.
