[A/S] Cold weather streamin'

[Lewis A. Lindner <pcfranke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had an interesting experience this past week that might be worth sharing.

Since sub-freezing weather was so late in coming to central Ohio this year, I 
procrastinated covering the vents and windows with plastic film until this last 
weekend.  When I did so, it became obvious that the untreated coach is quite leaky.  
The interior immediately became quite comfortable, and the furnace stopped cycling 
with just a 600 watt resistance heater for input.  Pressure of the heated air against 
the film over the bottom of the galley vent and the A/C was easily visible.  A 
remarkable difference -- the ultimate test will be the decrease in propane 
consumption.  Still have plenty of leaks from the refrigerator back to the bathroom on 
the curb side, but there is no question now that I can remain comfortable in any 
weather that occurs in this area.  

More later.
