Year 'round living?  Not quite...learn from my mistakes.

It did the job for me through winter '03-'04, but I wouldn't recommend it.  I'm single, which made it a little easier, so if you have a spouse or family to consider, you may prefer an apartment for the winter months.  This sort of RV isn't very well-equipped for winter weather, especially in Minnesota.  The furnaces aren't set up for that kind of heat and the bodies aren't insulated for it.  I bought a kerosene space heater and several sheets of R-5 insulation to put in the windows, but still had many uncomfortable nights.  Propane space heaters are nice for quick heat, but if you're not careful, the carbon monoxide they give off can cause dizziness or worse *Ahem*.  Kerosene heaters, on the other hand, burn clean so you can safely leave them on all day and night if needed.  Be sure to consult the heater instructions or even the manufacturer before extended use in a confined space.  The hay bales around the perimeter helped, but it took a good snow or two and some shoveling to get a good layer of natural insulation.  Hay bales also tend to attract little rodents, so I tucked dryer sheets between the bales and the RV here and there to keep them away (they don't like the smell or something).  Generic dryer sheets worked better for me than "Bounce" or other name brand sheets.  I used a  better method  this year, I think (Dec. 2004)
