Want to hear some further details as to the venting issues (was about to have an Olympian installed). Also, I have some general questions about cold weather camping. We are very interested in being able to take our Westy on ski excursions where temps as low as 0-f may be encountered. Do we need to gut our rig and insulate to stay comfortable - even with a catalytic heater? If so, what is the best insulation? There's this stuff that I've seen at the hardware stores that is essentially aluminum foil coated bubble wrap. It seems like this would be easy to install just about everywhere (other than for the dismantling tasks). Anybody think this is the wrong way to go? And Derek, what was involved in getting a second propane tank installed? Paul
