M Hamilton Thanks for your imput. I have a call into the factory as of last week to see exactly how the furnace is ducted. According to my specs for install it calls for 55 sq in of free air to feed the cold air return. The hole they have isn't big enough. I think about taking what you did and...

Thanks for all the tips folks. This unit doesn't have the double pane windows. That's one thing I may have to look into. I had and older king of the road I spent several winters in without skirting and did quite well. So thought with newer technology.... I can't really follow the sun as I'm...
