But you keep the heater on all the day? even when you are not in?

No shut the heater off during the day as the solar gain was good and it was sunny....only froze at night

What a great Trip Report and pictures, of a truck camper in the so called, "Off Season." I love seeing what people are doing with their truck campers. Thanks! Be sure to post more TRs and pictures.

I spend a lot of time in extreme weather conditions and use different techniques to keep from the need to winterize. Do you reduce the pressure in your water lines, at night and use auxiliary heat in trouble areas to keep your water lines from freezing?

I just picked up a 2012 Lance 825, to plug into my 2500 HD- Living up here in Alaska doing alot of snowmobiling a TC seemed to be the right thing to do, especially with the fishing season.
-Nice set-up, I'm trying to figure out my Hitch homework, I have a 22ft Mirage Teton Snow V Nose enclosed, which hitch extension or turnbuckle set-up did you use? Thanks

This is the exact reason I am considering buying a TC, so I am able to pull my sled trailer and have a nice warm place after a day of riding.
