Since two weeks we are now in Hochfelden. It is and stays cold. Locals tell us about winters with over 10 inches of ice. We are up to about 5 inches already. An average of about 1/2 an inch of ice forms during each cold night. A couple of days ago it started to snow, now AvantiB is covered by a blanket of snow.

We covered the skylights and wheelhouse with isolation material and then with plastic. The glass-mat and the air under the plastic form a nice layer of isolation. In the living area of AvantiB it is nice and warm. Condensation is a problem. Despite frequent airing condensation forms and then freezes along the conducting parts like the aluminum window frames.
