ColoradoKeystone -

I cannot specifically address your travel trailer, but I can talk about the Alpine 3640RL plenty! As the Alpine is advertised with high insulation values, I would dare say that there might be some similarities. See the Forum thread:

My DW and I do plan to cold weather camp in the near future, so I am busy now with several mods to allow cold camping. All are listed and described in the Modifications section. One key item for cold camping in an unmodified Keystone - you must run the propane furnace. Campers will get electric heaters to utilize the campground's electricity, but this does not heat the basement area. What I hear, the furnace use will allow one to camp down to around 25F to 23F. Looking over the Forum you will see several posts, particularly during the 2010-11 winter about frozen plumbing and tanks.

IMHO, if you are serious about cold camping, you will look at either using skirting to keep the underbelly warmed, or you will think about some of the mods I am doing/have done.

As others have said, "Just my two cents" and "Your results might vary".

Festus2 is too nice. I'm pretty sure I know who "those members" are/is. It seems like the full-timers use skirting most of the time. I'm wanting to be a little more mobile.

And, Festus2 has a full keyboard to type on. So much better than pecking at the Droid screen!
