I used my KS Passport Elite 32FB the 1st weekend of May and it was still chilly at night in CO at 8500'. Oh the stench coming out of the heater vents. So reading other threads and they recommended dropping the belly pan.
The chipmunks got into the heater through a 2" vent pipe that keeps the bottom warm when running. We had put on magnetic vent covers and that kept them out of the cabin. The 3 vents must have 20' pipe runs just ran willy nilly all over the place. I replaced them with a 8' run to the middle and a 25' run, cut to do the front and rear vents. I also put a screen on the 2" pipe so they don't get inside the furnace anymore. I installed 2" R10 foamboard underneath and on the I beams, while I had it taken apart. I had to cut the pan where the LP pipe crosses to the water heater. I decided that it would be easier than trying to deal with taking the LP system apart and putting back together.
