Welcome! We are just getting our feet wet, having brought our 23IKSS home in November. We want to be able to winter camp, too, and will be testing what this unit can handle. In part because we're too excited to wait until spring to play around in it. :-)
Our first night in it not long after we got it, we spent a night in our driveway to see how warm the tent beds would stay w/the heated mattresses. It got down to about 35 degrees that night. Cool in the camper (we probably could have tried harder to heat it - just wanted to see what it would do), but with the heated mattresses, it was great for sleeping.
Last weekend we spent a night in a campground where we had electric only. We ended up having no running water due to reasons not related to weather (newbie messup = no water pump), but all else was great. We tried out a lot of things for the first time - microwave, oven, fridge, etc. We kept the bunk ends in because it was just the two of us and the forecast was calling for temps in the low teens. We had a small ceramic heater, and once it warmed up, that mostly kept the camper warm without much help from the furnace. It ultimately only got down to about 30 degrees that night, but it was warm & cozy in there.
Hope you love your Roo as much as we do so far!!!
