As always, great to read and enjoy your photos, on your most recent trip. Glad you were able to spend time with your two families. With your kids growing up so fast, I am sure this will be a prelude of holidays to come off visiting the kids in their own homelands.
A few questions, with your family traveling;
Do you keep your tanks filled with water and in use? I just finished a period of below zero weather for multiple days and teens and 20s for highs for 2 weeks without winterizing, still using my faucets and showers.
The other question would be with all of your wonderful upgrades have you considered installing an aux propane tank? There are many side tanks, like used in Tigers, which could meet this upgrade. As you know I carry 114 gallons of propane and it is one of the best things I did when putting my project together.
As for the condensation, don't forget with all those people breathing there is going to be an amazing amount of condensation, just from that source alone. If you can utilize dry heat (electric) it certainly controls the condensation. I too have freezing in the corners and cab over. A couple of years back even frozen vegetable cans in the cabinets. But have never had any freeze damage in my Lance camper.
I wonder have you considered more extreme winterizing as btggraphix did a few years back with his TC? Reserving a short time to open up the camper (even when in the teens) goes a long way in removing condensation during extended TC camping in freezing weather.
Again, thanks so much for sharing about the tires, chains and larger (read tall) family joining on this holiday adventure. It is nice to see more TC owners out here in the winter with me with just a few cold weather practices used. Maybe more will consider not parking their TCs until spring.
