I am living in a 40 foot Four Winds Mandalay in Massachusetts in the winter. What am I CRAZY? Not only that I am living with 3 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 birds. I sure am glad that winter has been relatively mild this year. I have learned a lot about living full time in an RV and how to fix stuff along the way too. What are your RV challenges that I can help you with?
It is getting closer to spring, and I have figured out a few ways to stay warmer in the winter. The coldest part of of RV, by far, is the front. The windshield is of course single ply glass. That makes for colder. Also there is this huge area of open space between the front of the coach and the seats, where lots of cold air comes in. I have bought some insulation and am in the process of stuffing it behind the drawers and open area in the front of the coach. I also bought a couple of cans of foam insulation that I intend to use in the front cavities. I think this is going to make a huge difference. I also have the undersides of the coach insulated all the way around, since I am in one spot for a few months. More drama to come. What have you done to stay warm, you full-timers?
With winter almost done, I am still insulating. Helps a bunch to feel warmer. The last thing I did was pack insulation under the dash of the coach around the accelerator and brake pedals. I used those small insulation packs from Home Depot that are designed to pack in around smaller areas. The type that is open and has not aluminum on either side. Works great! Coach is noticeably warmer. Stay tuned.
