Unlike last February, I have a spare 30/ 15amp mini tandem breaker on board here in the motorhome. The Coleman roof top unit is a heater/ air conditioner. Right now, at 48°F outdoors, I have the heater set at minimum in my 31 year old Itasca Sundancer. The indoor temperature is reading 66°F. There is no wind to speak of here.
Last year, I used 14 bales of hay to insulate the outside bottom of my motorhome. This year, I have some kind of padded material and it's outside is kind of foil like. I'd even call it "space age?" But I just now had a thought. What if inside the shielding, I could stuff the bottom to make it more solid?
What I have coming up is I have to replace the hot water tank. Then I'll have to search for gas leaks. I'm certain that there's one at the stove. In case things go wrong, I need to be able to bypass bad systems, or directly plug them in one at a time. That could at least entail the installation of a liquid propane coupler from the outside to the in so that something like a 20# tank can remain out. Of course, a line from the inside port would connect to the hot water heater, stove/ oven or heating systems.
Or could I install shut off valves at each appliance and just use the main input line? If I did both strategies, I could accommodate a LP heater. A cylindrical shaped object that costs about $150 present day.
