Did some more insulation of dead spaces. Found that my entire compartment where my water pump is going up behind my shower had zero insulation in it plus a good size cut out leading into the bathroom cabinet. I purchased some small bags of batt insulation from Lowes and stuffed it up there. Even though I couldn't get all the way to the top of the wall it has to help some. Next is under the bed and the wall behind the bathroom cabinet with some foam board.

Finished up insulating under the bed and the bathroom cabinet area. The only place I have left is the closet, but not sure about putting the foam board in there. Any one have any ideas of using something different?

Putting it back up on the truck and working alittle more on the inside.

Try "Reflectix" it is a double-foil-backed bubble-wrap insulation. Make sure to spray-glue, or seal edges with foil-duct-tape to keep moisture from getting behind it. I have insulated most of my camoer with it, and we survived a week of single-digit weather with a few nights to -9F. It is only 1/4" thick, so it doesn't take as much space away, which is important on a camper!

Replaced Sure Power 1314 Isolator with the 1314A. Tested the isolator by connecting to my truck and observed with a volt meter while the intake heater grid was cycling on my cold Dodge Ram. Solenoid would click - voltage would go up to 13.nn on the camper battery pole. Solenoid would click and voltage drop to 12.nn on the camper battery pole. After several off/on cycles, I buttoned it all up and called it good.

Moved the battery disconnect switch that was hidden under the step to the slide-out to next to the slide-out override switch. What engineer decided to locate that switch in such an inconvenient place?
