New to the family.

Hello all. I just ordered a 2017 North Point 375BHFS. Very excited to take delivery. I live in it year round for work, so it's going to take a lot of modification to make it work in Alberta winters. I will be skirting it this winter until I can drop the belly and bullet proof it. I currently have a 2008 Citation Polar Bear toy hauler that has been astonishing. Not one single issue in 8 years of ownership living in it year round. Never froze up in temps as low as -48C without skirting. I'm not expecting that out of this new unit, but hope with skirting and heat underneath I won't have too many issues. This community seems very knowledgeable and friendly, so any issues I have I'm sure someone can help out. I take delivery in the first week or so of October, so I have plenty of time to research problem areas on here until then. Looking forward to hopefully happy years in this new unit.

Thanks for the replies guys. Has anyone had a North Point in cold weather yet? The one I ordered has the climate control yadda yadda package, but also the "Extreme Weather Package", which seems to me is heat traced water lines and heat pads on tanks? I prefer fully enclosed and ducted tanks like on a Citation/Corsair/Security, but as far as I know, no current manufacturer does this properly. I've seen most "Arctic" or "Northern" packages on other fivers, and they consist of tank pads and little else, which is p1ss poor AFAIC. I realize I have unrealistic expectations coming from a Citation, but for 88g's, I'd like to think these rigs can handle some cold.

I'm getting a little bit nervous seeing dozens of Schwinntech slide problems, but I guess when you sell as many units as Jayco does, they all can't be winners. Here's to hoping mine is built on a Tuesday.

So no one has any comments about being in one of these units in cold weather? I realize they've only been out a couple years but someone from Minnesota or one of the Northern states must have some experience with these big, beautiful bastards in the cold no?

Congrats and enjoy your new unit.
