What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
I see the other types of RV's having this type of thread. I did a search and could not find one here. :) Yesterday, I drove mine to work to "excercise" it. I have driven it to work twice in the ...

Wanted to test the cold weather capabilities. Last night I slept in the Roadtrek in the driveway (in case I needed to head back in the house :) ). Outside temps were in the single digits (F). Used the furnace which easily kept the inside temp in the high 60's and low 70's, but shut it off completely when I went to bed at 10pm. Without any additional heating during the night, I was toasty warm under a thick fleece blanket topped with a warm thick down comforter.
Inside temp was 34F when I woke up at 6am, but still very warm under the blankets. Turned on the heat, jumped back in bed for another half hour and when I got up inside temp was back in the low to mid 60's. Much better overall than I had expected.
For reference, during the night I did have reflectix insulation in all the side and rear windows, fantastic fan, and three overhead skylights, also all curtains were closed and a sun shade used on the front windshield. When checking around I could feel some cold thru the coach air conditioner vent, and from the vent over the kitchen stove. Next time I would also cover the AC with something, but leave the stove fan uncovered to allow some fresh air to enter.
All in all I was quite surprised how comfortable I was. I won't think twice about cold weather trips in the van as long as I have good blankets, a working furnace, and some Reflectix on hand :)
