Hi Nate

Mark in TX sent a pic of the diagram on his 116.  I forwarded it to Kevin. He seems to think that's what he needs.

I hope you've book marked & downloaded that W-116 manual , you'll be referring to it for years to come .

YES!   Oh drat to google, they changed the email and I can't change my font color anymore...bring it back google!!!


When I lived in abandoned trailers in Rural New England , we make plywood skirts between the floor and the ground ~ fitting the skirts tightly prevents the wind from whistling underneath and freezing you nearly to death .

The first winter we were out here we didn't have any skirting.  We had a ice storm.  BOTH of our space heaters decided to conk out that night!  That was our only heat source too.  Thank goodness for electric ovens, I'd never use a gas oven to heat the house.  We couldn't even get out on the road till about 1pm the next day.  Even with dripping water and heat tape on the pipe, it took the water at the bathroom sink 14 hours to thaw! 
 

Rich folks (honest , I knew some) used fibreglas insulation inside the skirts and it was actually _warm_ underneath ,

Why would rich folks live in a trailer???? 

Kevin found something like that on Craigs list for about $8 a sheet! One side is white the other is multi-color striped.  I made sure we put the white side out!  It sure did make a difference to cut the wind.  Under the deck, Kevin cut a hole just big enough for the outdoor cats to escape if they are being chased.  They have spent very cold nights under the house and come out toasty warm.

I know because I had to go fix the danged water pipes more than once in January , both fresh and grey water pipes...

Ewwww.  No fun. Right before that ice storm I called around to all of the local plumbers and got some pipe wrap for free.  We started out in shorts, then the wind turned around, next thing we knew we were bundled up in sweats and insulated coveralls!  We got it done though and had no broken pipes.
