I have the 5130 basically your model but with the slide. Our furnace runs off battery but it uses a lot of power. We have two batteries. We usually run it till it’s nice and warm and then turn it off. We might turn it on again once or twice if it’s crazy cold, we put bubble wrap between windows and shades. Slide some silver insulation along the sides of the bunks. We put up an insulated curtain around the windshield and a second one closing off the cab section at night. We have nice thick rugs on the floors. We have never had our tanks freeze because it’s not that well insulated between the tank and the cab. We do put antifreeze in the grey water if its below 20.
You will love your new little home.
