Okay....newbie question, we're leaving for Florida from indiana and my wife and kids will be sitting in the bench seat in the back. Is there a way to heat the rear cabin area while driving ? We have a SunSeeker 3170ds....this is our 1st long trip!!!

Use the coach furnace. It's propane and 12volts. Would be the same as camping self contained i.e. no hook-ups.

Using the coach furnace will work but just remember it will use a lot of propane. You could also use a small plugin heater and run on-board generator.

If your rig has a heat pump you can use that.
