Trailer Trash 2,

The saga continues. We moved from Wyoming to Portland, OR two days ago. Turns out my heater went on the blink again and the refrig quit again. I took my coach into a Montana dealer for assessment. Turns out both propane regulators were defective and the pigtail hoses from the tanks to the regulators were bad. Everything was replaced and appears to be working properly for now! The service manager said the-2 temps had nothing to do with the propane not flowing. Don't put a lot of faith in what the Keystone Customer Service people tell you.
I did talk with a salesman at the dealership about camping in extreme temps. Turns out he was in the same place we were, and at the same time. So he was familiar with my questions. He told me that he would not recommend camping for an extended period of time if the low temps were around 20 degrees and it did not warm up above 32 in the daytime. When I asked about the Arctic Package and freezing of tanks he said, "yea in those temps you would need to make some modifications and skirt the vehicle in order to prevent freezing. So, you probably do need to move your projects to the top of the list if you are going to head for cold weather. I know I learned a lot and will make some modifications before I camp in those conditions again.
If I can be of any further help, let me know.

Mitch
