Update
I parked the 310gk on Weds afternoon, hooked up a full 100 lb propane bottle and it is Saturday evening as I write this, propane is about 50% left. Furnace has been set around 68 with fireplace set to 74 which isn't accurate, and bedroom door is kept mostly closed to keep it from being too warm up there and believe you me it's not too warm, mid 50's, brrrr, but whatever it takes to keep a happy wife. Temps haven't been terrible, but lows around 10 F and highs around low 30's. Slide out with recliner couch feels a little cool, not sure how much of that is convection coming off of the glass and going towards the floor. No issues with freezing up, tank heaters on and using water tank and then topping off with a hose. I will have to use my small air compressor to blow out the lines when we leave on Monday and then we will be back in two weeks for my daughter's birthday and Christmas, and I will bring more propane!

Thanks for this info. Good to know these rigs are fine down to 10 degF, or even a bit lower, provided the furnace has plenty of fuel and tank heaters on, etc. with one of those heated hoses you could even connect to city water. Maybe.

It is - but it's the only water hose the pipeline and oil field workers in the "man camps" along the Canadian border use. At the rate I was replacing the Camco heated hoses our first few years of full-timing, I could have bought one of these and been money ahead (and without the awful plastic taste that never really went away).

@Steven@147
You're a lot tougher than we are. We got to our winter roost in North Florida about the 18th so we missed most of that cold snap.
Obviously, you know what you're doing, but I think I would forgo the heated hose; work off the fresh tank and keep the hose in the heated bay between fillings.
Good luck and stay warm!

What do mean you spray foamed the rails? I want to make sure I understand. We cam-Ed last year in St. Louis over St Patrick’s day weekend is it was -13 with wind chill.

Leaving marathon tomorrow after 6 weeks in the keys, heading to lake okechobee for the next few months. Hoping days stay above 70, so far Florida has been warmer 80+ than out west and we’re enjoying it.

@Nuffsaid
Can you give more info on the spray foamed frame rails? Did you do it yourself? Any info would be appreciated.Bill & Colleen ~ Schwenksville, Pa
