I am having renovations done on my house with the MH in the driveway for an escape from racket and odors (paint, stain, polyurethane, etc.). Occasionally I will be spending the night in it, but probably not on very cold nights. However, I do not want to winterize and de-winterize the MH during the winter. When the home renovations are done, then I will winterize it.
The holding tanks are in the "basement" but the basement floor is not insulated, and it is likely to be a little bit leaky around the doors in places. The question is whether the holding tanks might freeze if I am heating the inside to ~55 degrees F with an electric space heater. Does anyone have experience with this? I am in SW Virginia: Lows are likely to get in the teens or lower several times during winter; a foot of snow over a day or two happens about every other winter, and lesser snowstorms can be common.
I am guessing that if the inside is kept in the mid 60s, or if the MH's propane furnace is used, the basement will stay above freezing, even if it is 0 degrees F outside, but I will only keep it that warm when I'm inside the MH. Anyone know if this is true by experience?
What do you use to insulate windows, especially the front cab area, that is easy to take in and out?
Should I place a heavy curtain between the cab area and living area? Have any of you done this? How?
