Have you ever lived in a camper in the middle of the Winter? Let me tell you, it can be either the best experience of your entire life, or it could be the worst experience of your entire life.
Probably the maker or breaker of this situation will be your furnace. Of all the things you hold dear in your day to day life, you will never hold anything more dearly than your furnace while living in a camper. While living in a camper during the winter, your furnace provides many useful benefits. Firstly, since your camper will be poorly insulated because it is intended for summer vacations, a furnace will keep your camper warm during those cold, windy evenings. Without a furnace during the Winter, even breathing will become painful while living in a camper. Secondly, a furnace prevents damage to flooring and walling inside of the camper. Have you ever seen warping in houses and trailers when the temperatures become too cold? A cold night can cause things to expand rapidly, ruining everything that doesn’t have room to expand. Most importantly, a furnace prevents the water in the pipes from freezing! Did you know that hot water freezes more quickly than cold water? There is nothing more dreadful than waking up in the morning with no running water and a camper below ten degrees because your furnace has stopped working. Without the furnace running for a few days, the frozen water can expand enough to cause your pipes to burst! Next time you see the furnace in your camper, appreciate the value of it.
