Heat or lack of ??

I would like to hear of those who own a Cougar 33RES how their furnace/heating system handles temperatures down into the upper 20's, 30's and lower 40's

Does it keep the coach warm without any supplement electric heaters?

Does the furnace blower run constantly when coming from a cold state while the furnace burner cycles on and off?

Any known differences between how the 2014 & 2015 models years had their ductwork run.

I have not seen many postings or signatures out there with this model so I guess I'm also trying to see how many are actually out there.

Thank you.

The heated & enclosed underbellies that are common nowadays can be a problem. Hot air blows from the furnace into the underbelly cavity and straight outdoors from all the cracks and openings. Then cold outside air is drawn into the TT from cracks, vents and openings to replace air that was blown into the underbelly. Very inefficient. I recently purchased 2 blank-off plates to put on the furnace to stop air being blown into the underbelly but won't be able to try it out until the start of the next season. If you aren't using the tanks and water lines in sub-freezing temps, you won't need the underbelly heated.

We had a Forest River Ultralite that would not maintain the temperature if it dropped below freezing. One night it dropped to 25 degrees. The furnace could only maintain low 60's running constantly. Either the trailer was poorly insulated or the furnace wasn't large enough. Our present trailer has a larger furnace and heats O.K. even at low temperatures. It has a much larger furnace and better insulation.
Sorry I don't have any experience with your model.
