Hi all, I am researching selling my home and buying a 33' Keystone Montana TT with polar pack. I don't want to do dual hauling or I would do 5th wheel. My purpose 2 fold, be debt free in 5 years and be able to move quickly because of computer jobs are scarce and short term. I am concerned about several things. I have 2 full grown collies and I was wonder if the heat and a/c was pretty consistant like a home while plugged into a water/sewer/electric site. I would be working during the day and I am by myself so no one there to check them. I am checking into a iphone monitoring system to tell me if the temp inside goes bad due to power outage. Also, in the winter it stays around 30's in KY so with a Montana anyone have an estimate how the Propane would cost during those months. I could park the thing, winterize it and do apt. for 3 months if necessary. I don't have relatives close so no option there. Also, are these things reasonable quiet, with consideration of who is parked next door. My dogs are older 8 and 5 and pet therapy dogs so they are reasonable quiet. One more question, since I am by myself are these things somewhat safe, furnace, locks on doors. I do have a personal carry permit for a gun and have one.
thanks

Concerning the stability of power:
As we have dogs also, we worry about the power also. In four 1/2 years of full time living, we found the RV parks electricity are more stable than our old house in Florida!
When we are going to be away from the camper more than an hour or two, we leave our cell phone telephone number with the office and a request that they call us if the park loses power. Never happened yet. Have we lost power? A few times, but we were home at the time.
A remote power loss/notification system would provide peace of mind, if you can afford it.
