The lower the temps, the higher the propane use. When we were traveling in winter, we were using a tank of propane every 2-3 days, and that was with the thermostat set no higher than 65. The outside temps were single-digit with a significant wind chill. OTOH, during the summer months, the propane lasts a long time. Still, I recently put in dual tanks with an automatic changeover so if we get into a situation of needing more propane, I won't have to worry about whether the tank will run out in the middle of the night.

I also installed an AP Products (Mopeka) tank monitor setup with one receiver and two senders. I made sure to get the aluminum feet as I heard that the rubber ones don't really work well. I did not like using the app on my phone.

Decided against a surround since Forest River stated it is waterproof how it is, others on the forum concurred and I didn't find a surround that I liked and wasn't too heavy. Our only thought was to paint it but will wait and see if that is necessary. A recommendation was to squeegee the walls after use, so I bought a squeegee and will try that. Will check out the surge guard. Thanks for sharing the info!

1.  Is there a difference between the 2019 and 2020 models?  There are two for sale near us and just wondering...the 2020 is listed at $500 less

2.  Is there such thing as a pre-purchase checklist so we can make sure we negotiate the right things, including things we don't know about but should know?

Thanks in advance!!!
