Building a winter cabin around an RV / Camper

Sawmill campsite setup:
•. Camper is docked on locust piers.
• Wood stove with triple walled insulated pipe exiting. (Wall pipe surface barely warm to touch when fire is optimal.)
• solar powered 12v heaters keep the well house and camper water storage above freezing. (It was 14F out when I filmed this.)
• spring-fed well house refills the 50 gallon storage drum via water hose. (When needed)
• Waste exits into an on-site septic system.

That’s a nice setup! Uniquely precise to your needs. I do like the idea of putting the camper inside like that. If it goes to the ground. Blocking the wind and snow will certainly make it easier to keep the pipes from freezing. The rustic look makes it blend in nicely. You could stay there all winter long

I've been thinking about this kind of set up for years as a more affordable way to live outside of our government tax structure. Basically, park my van in a barn with lower property tax. Thanks for the vid

A friend of mine and I did that several years ago, but we had it completely enclosed with a rocket mass heater in the front , long wall, and the end wall where the trailer hitch was attached to the rest of the structure with bolts so that in the future, we could unbolt that wall with the gable remove it hitch up the trailer, pull it out, and we would still have the structure intact with a magnificent rocket mass heater installed no matter how cold it got outside we could easily keep that outside structure above freezing inside which meant it was much more easier to keep the camper comfortable inside

Very nice. We lived out of our tt while completing our cabin. Antifatigue Matts from Harbor Frieght are greatlow cost alternative floor insulation. Easier to maintain.

Cool setup but it’s driving me nuts that the snow wasn’t dusted off the solar panels 🤪

First video I have watched of your's. Very nice I thought. Great idea to enclose the RV. just one thing, cold air falls, In saying that will you be putting some kind of insulated skirt right down to ground level on your RV Shack at some stage????

Why? It's a RV/Camper.

Needed something setup quick to stay in while making lumber for a cabin. The outer shell around the RV keeps the weather off it, and camouflages it.

Nice speedy tour, minus the music soundtrack, philosophical reasonings and watching you make coffee and cook a meal. That seems to occupy 99% of most of the off grid videos.
