Thanks for mentioning that. The only time we’ve used our furnace is on our shake down trip when we bought in November. I think I remember only feeling a little heat from the bed duct. I’ll have to look more closely. It is a long run from where the furnace is located to the bed. The bathroom duct, however, will roast you.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but did they take any photos while the underbelly was off? I'm trying to install an electric heater to heat the underbelly so that I don't have to burn propane while on shore power and I would like to avoid dropping the whole underbelly if possible. Thanks!

Too bad all the extra work required instead of simply doing it right in the first place. GD seems to rely on users not discovering their terrible workmanship.

300 watts will be about as noticable as a fart in a hurricane.
On edit: Google is your friend;However, most bilge blowers are NOT designed for continuous use. They are designed to be run for a short while only. If you run them continuously you may burn them up or even start a fire

It is not easy. I have installed AC powered heat tape on all of the plumbing after first wrapping the pex with heavy duty aluminum foil then pipe insulation over that. Heat pads on all tanks. Even that will require the furnace in very cold temps. We have had a fully functional coach @-12 degrees. I 'think" we could go to 40 below according to the heat tape brochure. Haven't had the opportunity to test it that cold. Beefing up the underbelly insulation WILL help a lot. I use polyisocronate insulation boards. 1" thick is R6.5. It is cheap and light. I put in as much as what will fit. It is labor intensive, as each piece needs to be cut and fitted to work around everything. I managed to get at least 2" everywhere, and up to 6" in some places.
This mod will help the AC use in the summer and cut down on propane consumption in the winter. If you decide to do it, a concrete parking space and a creeper is a must.2021 398M Full Body Paint 8k axles. LRH tires. Disc brakes.

Thanks for this detail...much appreciated. - the 12v heat pads are another option I was considering. May I ask what model you installed the above on? I have a 21' XLS 17MKE and I may be limited for space and weight of the polyisocronate insulation boards...Thankfully I live in North Texas and the lowest I've seen was a freakish 1F a couple of years ago!
What changed for the new GD...
