Snowbird? - erniecarpet@... - 07-20-2005 08:08 Michael, Tom Meservey spent the winter in Ohio. perhaps he will post on his experiences.

Currently have my eye on a 1980 model. Maybe this is a weird question while people's ACs are pooping out at 103F, but does anyone on the list have significant experience in their machine (boondocking or with hookups) in the winter. Are Wanderlodges better than other RVs in the heat department as in almost every other consideration? We may need to spend a good bit of this winter in PA and IN and in between. Has your parked coach heat been adequate? How much does it cost to heat it? I figure once I have water in the lines I shouldn't let anything get near freezing. If you have to be away for awhile, can you set the thermostat at 40 and be safe from bursting pipes, or does it need to be higher than that? Michael Snowbird? - Mike Hohnstein - 07-20-2005 13:07 I installed a diesel boiler in my front curbside compartment, very convenient to the heater hoses. I chose a ProHeat but there are other brands on the market. The boiler keeps the chassis heaters working well but extensive dry camping would be a stretch in the winter, birds need lots of electric power.
