Prospective Owner Here- Few questions

[LoveToCamp]

I camp in my 2417 when it is below freezing. I do have to put RV antifreeze into my gray tank, though, so I can still open the drain valve. Other than that, I have no problems.

I have been under 25° two nights in a row, no problem whatsoever, as it gets above 40° during the day. I did one night of 9°, and one of 20° back-to-back, and only had the gray drain freeze on me (before I thought about antifreeze).

It depends on how long you will be camping, how winter camping works out for you. I use two bottles of propane for 6 nights of heater use. I have solar, so my batteries top-off daily, so the drain on batteries by the furnace fan is not an issue for me, as of yet.

You can stay warm, but if temps are below freezing, your heater will cycle-on frequently. Be sure you have sufficient propane.

The wardrobe. If you decide to get a wardrobe from the factory you may not be able to get it with the same finish as the 02 had. If that would be a concern, you may want to check.

I took the wardrobe out of our TM and put it in the attic because we didn't like using it. I would sell it to you cheap but I fear the shipping cost would be prohibitive. Maybe you know someone who travels to Houston? PM me if you are interested. It has the sliding piano hinge still attached.

Ours doesn't have it either, not sure if from the factory like that or not. But for our usual camping style, we probably get more use from the extra counter space.

This is why we are taking the Mr Heater Buddy along, it uses less propane.
Nether heater is run at night, all lines will be drained as we will use a 2 1/2 gal jug for water. We have been camping when the five gal jugs have frozen.
