I'm still contemplating a Wanderlodge purchase. Currently have my eye
on a 1980 model. Maybe this is a weird question while people's ACs are
pooping out at 103F, but does anyone on the list have significant
experience in their machine (boondocking or with hookups) in the winter.
Are Wanderlodges better than other RVs in the heat department as in
almost every other consideration? We may need to spend a good bit of
this winter in PA and IN and in between. Has your parked coach heat
been adequate? How much does it cost to heat it? I figure once I have
water in the lines I shouldn't let anything get near freezing. If you
have to be away for awhile, can you set the thermostat at 40 and be safe
from bursting pipes, or does it need to be higher than that?

I installed a diesel boiler in my front curbside compartment, very convenient to
the heater hoses. I chose a ProHeat but there are other brands on the market.
The boiler keeps the chassis heaters working well but extensive dry camping
would be a stretch in the winter, birds need lots of electric power.
