Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

I had hoped a variable speed fan motor could be turned up slowly to both close the sail switch, and
circulate enough warm air without invoking the "jet engine" full power blast of the stock fan...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

They are noisy, aren't they? Too bad the fan isn't a DC motor with variable speed, as it's
pretty loud. Wonder if there's an after market fix for the noise? On some home furnaces
I think you can...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

I guess Canadian insurance companies are tougher on stuff like that. I know ours might not
cover a claim if they could prove it was a result of something I DIY-ed. Thus, the "Devil's Advocacy"

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Hey Mike, I wanted to address the vent consideration for you. Both the Hot water heater and the LP fireplace draw their combustion air from outside the vehicle then vent the exhaust back out exactly...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

We frequently use cruise control, but do in fact have a 6.0L motor with a 6 speed transmission.[/quote]

No worries, it was just speculation. I believe some models were offered with a 4.8L V8 and I...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

This is a direct vent propane fireplace. Are the LP fireplaces considerably smaller?

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

I can get around 16-17mpusg with some restraint in acceleration and on cruise control
out of my 2002 Chev 5.7L V8 in the 190P, fully loaded.
I think her van being newer probably just has better...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

After a long summer layoff and lack of use, I can always smell just a bit
of a burnt dusty smell the first time we use ours. I try to crack the roof
vent just enough to let it disperse. Usually...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Not surprising you had to get sleeping bags at the surplus, after buying a new Roadtrek! :shock:
As I understand it, they're not cheap (Roadtreks, not sleeping bags :lol: ) anymore.
So there's a...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

In my '02 190P the heat pump isn't really very useful at temperatures approaching
the freezing point, it's more of a "cool" weather warmer than a "cold" weather heater.
If the temps along your...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Hi Steve,
Just signed up on the all season website. Looks interesting. C u there soon? :wave:
I agree about use of the water heater and having to re-winterize after every trip.
Probably a bad...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

What g1g said is true, whenever the temps are below freezing, or even close.
Not a good idea to use the sink, or fresh water system. If you need fresh water, better
to stop somewhere and buy it,...
