I cannot fix many things if they go wrong, but it is nice to have something to watch and make sure things look like they are working ok. Like your tire monitor, I believe you would get piece of mind having one added. We are also glad we are not in northern In. Nick, our country coach came with a silverleaf and I watch it closly.

They also do a good job of heating the ceiling and leaving all that nice cold air near the floor. When you really want to irritate the neighbors, turn your TV up loud enough so you can hear it over the heat pump blower. I love the propane furnace, but it is one of the most inefficient and wasteful heating devices ever invented. We spend most of our winters in places at or above 5,000 ft and got an Olympian Wave 8 catalytic heater which is just about the right size for our 40 ft. motorhome. It is silent, radiates good heat and makes a tank of propane last forever. Just remember to crack a couple of windows or vents. Right now we are in Reno NV, although we were supposed to have been back at our leased lot in Deming , NM (where we have our Wave 8 stored) last August. I'll never leave it behind again!

It is a great training tool for learning to maximize mileage. I like to see which gear I am in, not just which is selected so that I can quickly push the up/down buttons and select the right gear for hills. It is nice to be able to push the accelerator and see 24psi boost and know that the blower and exaust components are probably ok. We did have a cracked manifold once. The engine error codes might someday be helpful, but they are pretty criptic. It's one of those gadgets that you get hooked on pretty quickly. Like the auto gen start, I just want it. John Nick,

We have a little DeLonghi SafeHeat unit that we can set in the doorway to the bedroom on chilly nights. It is quiet and efficient. We set the dial fairly low, and it gently warms us to sleep. We call the heater R2D2 bcause it looks like the little guy in Star Wars -- the original one, which is all we've ever seen of the series. Our Winnebago-made heat pump is also right by our bed and, yes, it's noisy, but very efficient during the day -- unless it's cold outside, which is when you need it most!
