I want to reinforce the point made above -- if it's cold enough to require a heat source (outside ambient temp 32 or lower), you would want some "heat assist" to keep the tanks and waterlines from freezing up as well, right? .. If we're shore powered, we've found that the plug-in space heaters usually will help get the temps up to where sweaters / sweatshirts are quite cozy .. when it drops into the 20's and teens, we're grateful for the propane furnace.
