My wife and I are renting a 28ft class c through cruise america and driving from Ohio to Wyoming to visit our son at University of Wyoming, then cruise to the Tetons and Yellowstone. We are first-timers. Trip duration is two weeks. We have many questions and I am hoping someone can point us to the proper information or answer directly.
Average low temps may be below freezing. Should I expect the propane furnace to keep the unit toasty and how long should I expect a 9 gallon propane tank to last, assuming heat is needed for at least ten hours/day?
The cruise america salesman said the battery would be inadequate to power the propane heater fan through the night. Does that sound correct? This eliminates staying inside yellowstone, as hookups are unavailable and generator operation from 8PM to 8 AM is prohibited. We're looking for a place outside the park with hookups.
With evening temperatures dipping below freezing, is there a danger in freezing the dump valve? Do we wait until it thaws as the day warms up, or could the valve be damaged? If the latter, then does this mean we drain the system before it gets cold each evening?
We will be traveling with our dog (labrador). He has no problems traveling in a car for long trips. Is there anything special I should be aware of with a pet in an RV?
Thanks for any and all help as I cruise this forum for info.
