Heating basement in the winter

[ssands]

We have a 2014 Tiffin Allegro RED and are planning to spend some of the winter in Pigeon Forge Tn. I'm looking for suggestions on propane usage while there. There aren't any propane people that will come to your coach. Renting a larger bottle from them requires a 3 year contract. The CG says that everyone breaks down and drives to the propane supplier. I'm trying to avoid that hassle. One option is to buy a 30 or 40 LB bottle and tie it in. There's not enough room to install an "Extend-a-stay". We can use electric inside the coach but I worry about keeping the basement warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing.

Hi ssands,

I replaced the return air grill for the furnace with a dual window fan. It is thermostatically controlled (add on thermostat) and pushes some air through the duct work in my class C. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Holmes-HAWF2021-WMUM-Dual-Blade-Twin-Window-Fan/17133777

You can use light bulbs, If you can find the short oil fil heater that also works. If you have a taller bin then the regular size will work. Our 99 had a switch that you turned on to heat the basement. It was just a blower motor like use on boats to suck warm air from the duct and blow thru the basement area.
