non vented furnace

Absolutely enjoyed the full time lifestyle for a number of years, then back to a 'sticks and bricks' home. Now...looking for just a small(non slide out) Class C for some weekend and vacation trips. I miss traveling easily, the fun, meeting the great people along the way, etc. I'm leaning toward a Winnebago Minnie Winnie/Itasca Spirit due to the availability of dual pane windows, and ducted a/c. But most of the smaller floorplans, 22 to 25 ft. do not have a ducted furnace. I'm wondering how well a non ducted furnace keeps the rig warm in general, but especially for trips to the bathroom during the night or for showering in the morning. We live in Phoenix, but will occasionally venture into cooler climates. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

Cruise America has a refurbishing facility (in Phoenix, I think) in the your backyard. A tour of their shorter MHs may be in order. I have a 30 footer (2005 28R) that I fulltime in. I'm near the mouth of Discovery Bay in WA. I tuck a comforter under the edge of the mattress in the cabover as a curtain between the cab and the house, and my primary heat source is a 1500W ceramic space heater. Then again, I'm plugged into shore power.

I don't think you'll have a heating issue with the propane furnace. The smaller holding tank sizes in a shorter MH will mean more frequent dumping of the tanks.
