I spoke with the factory about the Arctic Package as I went thru the same propane usage as everyone else. They told me it doesn't mean better insulation it only means that they put heat into the holding tank areas to keep them from freezing. So we have the same size heater putting heat into the holding tank area and have less heat in the living quarters. It is not so much the size of the heater but the amount of heat loss, which is very high. The heater puts out a fixed amount of BTU but the unit looses heat fast and therefore the furnace is constantly running. My guess is if I spend more money on a camper I could get a better insulated unit. You get what you pay for and if I use the camper as designed 30 to 90 degree temps you should be comfortable. If I wanted to spend another 40K I could have got a unit rated for fultime use and it would be better insulated. 40K buys a lot of propane. IMO david
