to winterize the trailer, i spent the whole year in wy. in my trailer , working a pipeline job, i placed 1/4" plywood around the openings of sides the trailer, i also placed the rubber tires on a sheet of plywood from the cold under the tires. this make no froze o the tires. . on the cold and hot pipes, as well as the lines for the grey and the black the help insulate the pipes from freezing. heater wraps are the best around the water, gray and black tanks.as far as sweat in the trailer from the extra heat, the vent in the bathroom a crack open all the time with the bathroom door closed. only if the bottom of the door has a 1/2" opening under the door to the floor.

Very well done & presented. We go out at least 1x a month year round. one trip we got caught at a State Campground when it started to snow. The first night about 50% left. 2nd day the camp host warned us of another front coming. Everyone else left. I drained my water tanks (not the black). Disconnected the 'city' water hose and drained it every night before turning in. wrapped the hose bib with an old towel. In the morning took a teapot of hot water and poured it over the outside of the hose bib and reconnected. Jumped up on the roof in the morning & again in the early evening and swept off the snow. The real fun was 3 days later when I had to dig out a path for the tires to run and a bit of the center so the trailer belly wouldn't drag to get to the packed snow on the road. I got my daily workout in. I always figured worse case scenario we could leave the trailer and jump in our 4x4 p/u and drive into town and come back later. If I could attach photos you could see the real Winter Wonderland we were in... It was well worth it.... BTW.. I always carry a shovel.

Well from 92 till 98 my wife and i spent xmas from nov 1ft to jan 7th in muncy pa at lycoming mall as silver and gold smiths. It was 4 below constent temp. We renter a 450 lb tank and we went to the hardware store an bought clear plastic sheet storm windows for our rv. Now at that temp we used 10lbs every 4 days that says a lot for how rvs were made then as oposed to today. We keep the temp at 72 deg. It was fine. 80 gal water tank i filled about every 3 nights. We stayed in the mall parking lot close enough to the mall that we pulled electric from there and an mg room had water outlet.

We’re the ones that head to warmer weather states even though our RV has the Artic package. Cold weather just doesn’t agree with our bones anymore, so California is the place to avoid the extreme winter weather! Yes there are areas that get down to the freeze point, but thank goodness they are few and far between. If there is days that get down to 32 degrees or below we make sure that we keep a drizzle at the faucets with the grey tank open and that keeps the water pipes and sewer tube from freezing. You presented some really good information for those rough riders who want to camp in cold weather conditions, for us we choose to avoid those areas like the plague! Hope you guys are headed to warmer weather conditions during this winter, due to the supply issues it’s going to be really costly this winter. Currently in California, fuel costs have skyrocketed. Diesel is hovering around $5/gal and propane is hovering around $4.50/gal. Shortages of food products have escalated prices at the markets. Hope that once the supply issues change prices will normalize once again! Best wishes and Happy Holidays to you both, Take Care and be Safe traveling this Winter.

Another great video with awesome tips! When we were near Aiken, South Carolina we had a couple weeks of cold and snow! We didn't have the skirting that you had and the floors of our travel trailer was freezing! I was also told that you can put a heat lamp in the storage area of your 5th wheel to keep the pipes from freezing. Also, trickle your faucets! Dexter looked so cozy on his bed in front of the fireplace. Wherever your next destination takes you, stay safe and keep warm this winter! Happy Thanksgiving to you! 🦃

@hollybishop484 2 жыл бұрын
Learned so much from you guys, thanks! We are full time rv living in mid Michigan. As some added things we've learned.. -get an small hose and an rv toilet wand like the camco swivel stick. You can use this to help flush your black tank by making a quick connection in your shower instead of hooking a separate hose up outside, especially if your spigot has been winterized. -put a thermostat sensor under your camper so you know what's going on underneath your camper AND in your basement. -Foam skirting was totally worth it! Cheap and effective! Throw a heat light under there for a little extra insurance as well. -if you have a heated water hose remember to wrap your water filter if it's outside. Otherwise it'll freeze, expand and crack. -plastic wrap your windows! It'll help with condensation on your windows and it'll create that air gap without blocking out the sun, which also helps heat your rv. Remember the sun is a free heat source! -if you can use your fireplace or space heater do so when you can. It'll help combat the condensation alongside your dehumidifier. -Lastly, plan ahead! If you haven't gotten your camper yet but expect to be winter camping at some point, plan on getting a 4 season. While it usually means Florida 4 season and not northern North America 4 seasons, it does help. Coming from mid Michigan, it's made a huge difference to have all of the cracks and crevices already sealed up for us by the manufacturer.

You both are so sweet, honest and smart. I'm retired RVer, Ohio Appalachian foothills. On my own land with utilities. Much of what you do, I do. Parked, with foam skirting, heated hose, heat tape. Yes, I too have the Arctic Package!! But it ain't enough for real Winter, y'all. I rent 2-100# propane tanks, reorder as soon as one runs out. Have insulator cubes in skylights. My best idea this year: shrink wrap plastic kits from Duck. 10 windows. I wanna see out!! Wow, really cut down on wind, heat loss through single pane glass. Gonna buy pipe noodles for slides. My 5th wheel is abt size of yours. Dehumidifier is on the list. Also need a mesh pad that allow air circ under mattress. Made in USA, on Amazon. I just subbed your channel🎉😂! Thank you guys!

I bought 3 campers. Gutted them all out and basically made a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. Im not allowed to connect them together so it’s awkward. Ran all new water pipes, all new gas lines, all new electrical lines, all new sewage pipes. I use a 21kw solar kit. I drilled a water well for water. And installed a septic tank. One camper is only for utilities like washing clothes, cooking, washing dishes, and stores the solar inverters and batteries. The other 2 are for living. I completely surrounded all of them with square hay bales to keep them warm and the water pipes from freezing. Installed a 40 gallon propane water heater. New toilets, showers, sinks. All of this so we can live good while we save to build our house. So far so good.

@@HappilyEverHanks we will have to go the cheap route for this season. But it's it's possible down the road. We're in southeast Michigan where winters have been lite on snow the last few years.

I'll take option number 2 in Illinois Alex for WTF It's cold. Love the video guys. So spot on with the information! We went with a professional group out of South Dakota that didn't do the snap skirting. It's made things so much better having the thick canvas skirt. We've even used it in the summer to keep things cooler in the super hot summers.. I've never had a company not rent us a 100 gallon tank. The main thing we have ran into is companies not wanting to service tanks that were not theirs actually. Usually we have to use their regulators or have them certify/inspect the aux propane access that's on most newer rv's these days. Keep up the awesome videos =)

Great tips!!! We've been caught in below freezing temperatures a few times in TX (where we go to get away from WI cold in the winters-HA!) including Snowmegedon in Feb 2021 when we lost power for 15 hours in sub 0 temps. We survived it and no frozen pipes!!. We have a small RV (26 ft 5th wheel with no slideouts) and only went through 1/2 a 30 lb propane tank...no supplemental heat due to no electricity, and because of the ice and snow, we couldn't use our briefcase solar panel. Also, we use clear plastic insulated window kits on our single pane windows, so heat comes in from the sun, but no draft of cold air and you don't feel like you're inside a hershey kiss. 😁 We have been full time rving for over 5 years and do not have a heated water hose either...we just fill the fresh water tank and disconnect from city water supply if we're in a campground. Our biggest challenge is yet to come... We need to return to WI in March this year for the arrival of our twin grandbabies. Campgrounds are not open in WI in the winter!! They are closed until mid-April!! We know where there are a few dump stations we can drive to, but no potable water sources near where we have to be, and at most, we will have 15-20 Amp (house current) electric. FUN times ahead!!! 😳🥶😬 We are looking for winter rvers who don't have hookups in winter...any advice appreciated. We know what to do for SHORT term crazy cold, but no hookups in winter will be a new experince!!

My wife and I travel for work and we spend winters in the camper. Our first on we used the green insulation board and aluminum duck tape and put a small utility heater under the tanks. Wasn't to bad on propane at first, but as the camper got older,it got colder. We use a 100 pound tank. Yeah it's a pain to load and unload,but it's better than constantly refilling tanks. We had a 30 pound tank next to it,so we used it while the big tank was being filled. We used plastic and tarps once and once is all you want to use it. It constantly flaps in the wind,even when weighted down. Don't forget to drain the sewer hose after dumping the tanks. They tend to freeze and bust. But the whole manufactured skirting is nice,but ridiculously expensive.

Yeah this is our fifth winner and I wish I would have purchased skirting five years ago but I'm like you I'm used everything under the Sun from tarps plywood you name it I've used it it works last year I didn't put nothing up we just turned off the water drain the line before he went to bed if it was going to be real cold if it wasn't going to warm up in the morning.

Just going back thru winter rv living. I live in alabama, love y’all’s vids. Last winter I went thru Dual 30 pound propane tanks in about 3 to 4 days. Now I drive 18 wheelers for a living and home on the weekends. I DID IN FACT GO WITH the big boy propane tank. River City Propane will in fact bring out the 120 gallon submarine style tank. No monthly tank rent with a full fill . Full tank fill on set up basically took care of a tank rental deal. Anyhow, River City came out, set the 120 gallon tank, ran Cooper line that they buried in the ground , pressure tested/checked my rv, and we were good to go. Now since last December I have paid for 2 tank fills and I’m still at 40% on my 2nd tank fill as of last hometime, 2 weeks ago. River City also allows a customer to pay whatever whenever on your account thru the year. So you can actually pay a cheaper price for propane in the off season. Say you buy 100 gallons in June at 2.89 a gallon and don’t need a fill, well that purchase is locked in. Say you wait until say October and prone is 3.19 a gallon then it is what it is. Anyhow I truely enjoy you guys videos.

Hi Gang, thanks for all your fantastic tips. We do rent a propane tank here next to Yellowstone. Way cheaper per gallon when filling 80 gallons. We also stand behind our dual pane windows, not because they do so much for heat, but at minus 40 (two winters now) it really decreases the ice on the inside of the window. It's way more manageable than without. The problem with ice inside is that when it does melt, it runs down into your wall - not good. We also had issues with our furnace running full time at -27 and burning out the furnace fan, so secondary heat is helpful there. The heated fresh water hoses don't work much below -10 and we always keep the fresh water tank 3/4 full. We have kept our gray water drains open to -27 without an issue. The hoses are, verified by a level, totally downhill with no places for the water to settle, they are routed UNDER the skirting, and where that can't happen, we wrapped them with bubble wrap and installed a 4" aluminum stove flue over the bubble wrap. Not being contrary, btw. Just adding more ideas to your already great ones! Love you three! :-)
