I really like my Victron 75/15, especially all the bluetooth info! Be sure and write down the PUK number on the back, in case you need to reset the PIN in the phone app.

Walked right by it, in my shed, where it had warmed up to five below zero F.

I spent a week in the snow in my TC sitting on the ground. Truck was getting some work done. Bought a Vornado electric heater and it performed quite well. Nearly silent compared to the turbo fan the unit uses for circulating air under around the holding tanks. I wired up a 140mm computer fan on the outlet side that constantly circulated air down below. Coldest day was in the teens with gusty wind. Had to supplement with propane heat a couple of times, but I barley used any propane in 10 days on the road.

The factory installed fans AF uses are obnoxiously loud.
I replaced mine with a quieter one, built a proper air flow shroud around it and wired in a switch so I can operate it in manual mode when I use an electric heater.

Here's the video of that project

Today I should have walked by the thermometer too - instead I stopped to look and it was -18F.

I'm staying out of that room.........
