    You should get a Mopeka Propane Sensors for propane levels. Easy to use and install.

    She is absolutely correct in suggesting closing the curtains to help insulate the windows. She is definitely smarter and more resilient than what he is. He was also snippy towards her at times. 😂😂

    I am from Ontario but in the south west for the winter with my class C, it has a 75lb propane tank and it lasts a lot longer than I thought. I had it filled a month ago, its used daily for cooking and even used the gas furnace a couple nights set to 60F (quieter than the heat pump ((above 8C)) / heat strips ((below 8C)) in the AC unit). I'd set it a lot higher than 41 if using the water/tanks, I imagine the furnace keeps the tanks and lines warm in an Airstream. Cool video!

      Thanks for the info! We're totally dry tank in the winter.

    I live in Quebec in the summer and Arizona in the winter in my homebuilt cargo trailer to RV conversion. I'm boondocking in the Mojave desert in California at the moment.
    I highly recommend a Big Buddy portable propane heater that can be tapped into the RV's existing propane lines. This heater is a blast furnace, and has kept my past 38 ft 5th wheel RV at 22C when it was 0C outside. It has a small fan as an accessory that uses a tiny amount of electricity compared to the huge RV furnace fan. Or you don't even have to use the Big Buddy fan, though it does help a lot to distribute the heat. No way could I tolerate 5C indoors when there is such an easy solution. It will also save you a huge amount of propane over the RV furnace.

      @@PhilZhen-gy8qk I think most RVers who boondock a lot go to this type of portable heater. Mine is stored in a cupboard to get it out of the way during the day, and I bring it out at night. It is always hooked up to my RV's propane lines, so starting it up is a breeze. The saving in electricity and propane use is like night and day from a typical RV furnace. I use about 1/3 as much propane and even less than that for electricity if I use the Big Buddy fan.
      You can buy the heater and use a 1 or 20 lb tank to try it our before tapping it into your RV's propane lines. Good luck!

    I found you purchased this trailer from same dealer I purchased! Actually you can use propane sensor attach underneath the propane to view how much consume propane from mobile phone, so you don’t need to weigh it all the time

    Maryland is expecting snow. It is getting cold. Was wondering how it would be in the Airstream in the winter.

      Whoa!!! Isn't snow in Maryland a little odd? Stay safe! And... Stay tuned for more cold weather camping in the Airstream!

    I can't wait to see how many amp hours it takes to heat with light and stuff ...

    Hopefully you tested your CO2 detector and Propane detector alarms.

      Indeed we did. All are in working order (at least the test button did it's job). Great point though. These sound be checked regularly!

    The tare weight should be stamped on the handle if it is the same as the US. When you refill, they should weigh them before and after in order to bill you for what you took.
    Also, if you have a choice, never exchange. At least in the US, exchanges typically only provide about 15lb in a 20lb tank. When you get them filled, you only pay for what you take and an empty tank should take pretty close to 20lb. So not only do you typically pay a lower amount per pound, you get more in your tank. I just got a 19lb fill for about $16.

      Dude! Thanks for that info. I am always so wary of exchange programs! This key much settles it for me. Not to mention I've never seen a 30 lbs exchange in Canada. Anyway, thanks again!

    I’ve met some people who overthink everything, but you guys are next level.
    Didn’t care to form a friendship after meeting them.

      Well that's pretty rude of you. They seem to be detailed planners, and there is nothing wrong with that. And maybe they were happy to see you go too.
