Awesome! Thanks for the info, Steve. Super helpful.

Do you block off the cab with a curtain/blanket? That has made a huge difference for us ...

We didn't block the cab but that is a great idea. Thanks Scott.

No just turn propane off at tank, I then went inside and lit stove to burn off propane in lines, took 5 - 7 seconds, and to make sure propane is off. When you take regulator off you will smell propane left in regulator and little from line. I used teflon tape for gas fittings, some use pipers dope also but I did not. After turning on propane I looked for leaks with soapy water then fired up stove and furnace.

In cold weather with furnace on, I open bath door, cabinets under sink, and door under sofa. I also have curtain that previous owner made and has slides in channel cover the opening of the cab, this plus the curtains that came stock has worked for me.

I keep furnace at 68 and its very comfortable, sure beats the tents I was using.......
