The Possum Belly (as Spacecraft calls it, basement to me.) Is open from in front of the axle to the front jacks. Not insulated on the sides or floor and that's where the water tank lives and most of the plumbing. So far I've gotten by with a "Milk House Heater" where the pump and most of the exposed plumbing is with only two freeze ups that thankfully caused no damage. If I put a large battery bank there I will need to be sure it doesn't get cold enough to cause an issue. Last fall I reconnected a thermostat to the Gas Furnace and used it during the coldest days to keep the area warm. Had no protection from the North winds where I parked. I did have my second freeze up even with that, but I didn't put the heat tape on the exposed pipes like I have before and that may have been the issue. Keeping the basement warm in the winter will help with the living area floors. I will try to insulate at least the doors and hopefully the floor. I could do skirting, but putting it up and then taking it down it doesn't last very long and is a pain. Rod -

Definitely would use mobile AC hose and bulkheads at the sleeper floor. Because the need is likely less than 100 hours a years, my concern is not really worth the effort, but would be mounting the condenser horizontal. I have a diesel bunk heater that I like, so wont need the mini for heat. My travel style at this point would only need the AC for sleeping. I wont likely be at the rig during the day. No pets or children. -
Our HDT was tandem and we had/have insurance thru Progressive. We had to be towed once with the 5th wheel and it was a non-issue getting it done. Tow truck arrived about 45 minutes after we called Progressive. The cost of the tow was around $1200 if I had to pay out of pocket. This past September we had to have our tandem rear axle motorhome towed. No issue with Progressive but Progressive uses a 3rd party service for roadside assistance and towing. We sat on the shoulder of a busy interstate for over 4 hours waiting on a tow truck that was only 15 minutes away. The holdup was securing payment for the tow ($3400) before they would send the tow truck. Neither of these events affected our premium. Progressive has been insuring our RVs for the past 15 years and these are the only "claims" we have ever had with them. -

Kind of sounds like a scam but anymore it is difficult to tell. I received a call yesterday from my health insurance and they started the call with we need to confirm who you are and asked for my birthday and so on. I told them first I need to confirm who you are. That left the caller a little uneasy. These scams are difficult to determine what is what. -
Having had mine for some years now, I believe a 18k in living room and a 9k in bedroom would have been a better setup. Both mine are 12k and bedroom unit barely runs and living room unit works. I went a year initially with just one in the living room and it worked well as long as we didn't run the clothes dryer. dryer would heat up bedroom in the summer months. But we stayed mostly in the south due to my work.I was initially hung up on staying 120v. Don't see how relocating to basement area would benefit you.
