I agree it's the slides. The new Montanas have those numbers posted way up near the top of this thread but our older ones (2007 in our case) have less R value. We have handled cold to five below, twice, zero a few times, and ten days or so with a high for the period of 14, and several times we've gone days without seeing anything close to 32.

We dress like we did in our stick home. Sweatshirt, etc. We run electric heaters along with the propane furnace. We don't have dual panes (a mistake on my part when ordering) so we film the windows. That makes a big difference. This last December we had foam on the sldes of the slides as well as slide roof and floor but probably won't do that next time. The drafts we get seem to mostly come from along the edges of the slides, as noted above.
