My mechanical aptitude is improving. A lot of times, I don't need a manual to fix something. Today, I received my RV repair manual from Half Price Books via Amazon. I'm looking forward to using it when I go after my liquid propane leak in my 1988 Itasca Sundancer 25 foot's stove. I'm not sponsored by anybody and the only reason why I mention the make and model is for your convenience regarding search engines.
I'm a full timer and I have an idea on how to keep the heat in the winter. The front cab windows are huge and they bleed heat. Last year, I draped a tarp from the overhead bunk and that did some good. But my idea to better it is to cut some 1 inch foam ply insulation. I'd do the windshield in several pieces. I can use some light grade canvas from Jo Ann Fabric's and adhere it all together using hot glue. I used this canvas and hot glue for a modification to my hiking backpack and it held for quite some time. Anyways, the hot glue will melt the canvas a bit like a weld.
For the cabin windows, it's the separation between the glass pieces that's the problem. Just use some packing tape on those so that they'll come off easy with a razor blade when spring comes around.
I have full hookups, so last winter, I used my roof heater, which is electric. That acted like the primary heat and then I used a large electric ceramic heater as my secondary. But my gas systems are offline right now and last year I had a lengthy power outage. I live in very rural Woodsfield, Ohio. It's in Appalachia and every time a driver hits a utility pole, this village has power outages. But I have a new liquid propane gas sensor.
