We need all the advice when it comes to full timing in the winter in Montana. We will be in our 2021 Solitude 378 MBS-R. We will be staying through mid/late December and want to be fully prepared! We will be moving our rig to a “winterized” spot in the campground on October 1 and will be skirting it in with foam boards at that time.

We need advice on how to cut down on propane use while still keeping things from freezing. We understand we will go through a decent amount of propane and rented a 100# external tank, but we want to maximize our other resources.

We have read about the use of space heaters-can we put one underneath the RV once it is skirted in? We also considered adding one in the main living and master bedroom but are wondering what the best location to place them would be given thermostat locations (I know it sounds basic). When using space heaters inside what is an ideal temp to set furnace to insure it still turns on to heat underbelly?

The other concern we have heard about is rodents in the winter. Anyone have experience with this and tips on preventing it?
