I thought about getting one of those electric oil radiator heaters. I'm sure we will turn off the heat when we're not in the unit and out exploring during the day.  This would be the second reason for upgrading the array.  Making sure to have enough power to keep the furnace blower working overnight.

We never heated the TT during bedtime.That's what sleeping bags and people are for. No offense, but you guys are not talking about "camping" - you're talking about a fully equipped and mobile efficiency apartment - which is not to say that that is bad. Everybody has their own requirement for the level of comfort they want.

Probably.  I call it RVing.  I've done my share of sleeping in a bag on the ground, pop up trailers you'd cook in on hot summer night, and having to go days without being able to take a shower.  I didn't buy this thing for a competition on how "rough" I could get.  I want to NOT stay in hotels, be able to get close to the outdoors, have all the comforts in life I can now afford, and enjoy the time with my wife.

It was 19F again today where I will be shortly at 6,000 feet.  Yeah, I got no problem turning on the furnace.  But, I will be leaving that comfort to go into Bryce Canyon and do an 8 mile hike at 9,000 feet in elevation.  When I'm done with that, which will probably be much colder and snowy up there, I think I will be looking forward to a heated coach, and a nice warm meal.

 Do you ever sit around a campfire?

Of course.  If it were only me, I'd spend more time just hanging around the campsite, drinking beer, and poking the fire.  Last fall I just made a couple small campfires in the evenings and mostly sat out there by myself (which I'm good with too).  I gotta break her in slow.....
