Winter Liveabaords???

[MartySchwartz]

We live full-time in the PNW as well (Poulsbo actually). We found a dehumidifier, while rather noisy, has proven very effective at reducing the sweating inside the boat when the outside temps drop. Also provides a very nice source of distilled water for the batteries. For heat we use a Hurricane hydronic furnace and it basically runs 10-12 hours per day during the really cold snaps. We keep the thermostats set at 68* in the salon and 60-65* in the staterooms.

Living on the gulf coast we have such mild winters compared to everyone else, but having a dehumidifier on the boat has made a huge difference this year. I'm looking at moving up north and living aboard so thanks for all the extra info everyone
