ℹ️ About the Episode:
Thanks for your feedback on last week's episode. Sometimes our favorite episodes are the least viewed and the stuff we think you'll love falls flat! We've learned that when we're away from the RV for a bit, we have much more to share when we return. Everything seems fresh and new! We tackled winter camping again this year for two main reasons. The first was the Ski Challenge with Joel & Tyler, which we did to help raise money for Care Camps and to have fun. The second was to update our winter camping video and share some tips for weekend winter trips vs. staying the entire winter in your RV, which requires a lot more planning. In this video, we share winter camping tips on the following topics: Propane management, essential gear, sewer hose, freshwater, and winter driving/towing.

Oh man, I'm with you on "never doing that again". We did a winter trip to Santa Fe, NM for Christmas a few years ago when one of those "polar vortex" storms came down from the north the day before leaving there. It snowed 8" and dipped into the single digits the night before we checked out. I ended up with the poop-sickle sewer hose, frozen water hose, and realizing that all of the snow and ice that had accumulated on top of our slide-out toppers wouldn't let me close the slides until I first climbed on the roof and pushed it off all 3 slides using a newly broken broom. I had to crawl on my hands and knees to keep from falling off the roof! That's when I said it, never going in the snowy winter again! lol

Coincidentally, we were on our Winter Tour in our FC 28 and hit that same snowstorm in Flagstaff. We fell in behind snowplows on I 17 and drove slow and steady through the snow to rain in Camp Verde. 30 days of freezing nights, lowest 17 deg F, and always comfortable in our Airstream. 24 nights of dry camping in remote Nat’l Monuments and State Parks. No crowds! We’ll certainly travel in winter again.

Looks like you need some 12 volt heating pads attached to the bottom of your black and gray tanks to keep them from freezing ( only need to keep the tank a 36 or 37 degrees to keep freezing), and you can use Double Reflective Insulation, in conjunction with durable metal duct tape to wrap your black and gray tanks ( covering over the 12 volt tank heating pads) so you will have a more "electric approach" from keeping your RV from freezing, and rely less on your propane when you are plugged in. This is what my little motorhome has, and it works well.

Wire a snow shovel to the front of your car, then drive south until somebody asks you what the hell that is wired to the front of your car. When you get that question you know you have gone far enough south that it is probably safe to stay and avoid the snow from winter camping. See you in Florida :-)

There is one hiccup with the ultrasonic propane tank level sensors. They are powered by coin cell batteries. As we all know, performance of batteries degrades with extremes of temperature, and once you get down to a bit below zero they no longer have enough juice to work reliably. For above zero temps they’re great, but if you’re dealing with stuff in the -15, -20, and beyond kind of range, be prepared for intermittent/inconsistent function. I haven’t tried this yet, but I think I may get some of those adhesive foot warmers made to stick to your sock and stick them around the sensor for those kinds of trips.

The Mopeka Tank sensors are AMAZING. I have the previous generation (not quite rectangular, but not round). 100% agree that the inside sensor is pretty much useless, but it is a nice quick reference if you don't have your phone handy. I like that the system can be configured for different tank sizes, and you can set when you want the system to alert you (on your phone) when you're getting low. Also, the option to "label" the tanks makes it easy to differentiate between the driver and passenger side tanks. I had my furnace "die" a few years ago in late November, and I cannot stress the need for spares of things like sail sensors, thermostat switches, and even controller boards which can go out with no notice. In my case it was just a loose connection on the sail switch. Also, I've found that with travel, sometimes the hoses that send air through the belly of our rig sometimes would vibrate off of the furnace body. I used actual foil duct tape to seal up the furnace body to make it more efficient, and prevent the ducts from coming loose and dropping. Keeping spares on hand for furnace, fridge, and other systems when considering the low price for doing so can make emergency repairs a lot less stressful.

We have hydronic heating through our Aqua Hot. We have a switch we can use to have it heat the bays too. This just solves all life's problems. In winter driving even with our Ford F-150 4x4 truck you have to have good all season or winter tires. Never let your fuel tank get below half. Like you said, you have to have spare fuel to keep the heat on. Fortunately in the motorhome our Aqua Hot will run off electric or diesel. If it's super cold we have to switch it over to diesel. Of course we live in South West Florida so in the winter there is no place like home. We had all the doors open until noon today. Life is better in Florida. 😎

CheapHeat furnace add-on is the best modification once can make to their RV. Particularly if you are a full-timer or use your rig for several months a year. No more LP anxiety. And it's free heat if your park fee includes electricity. If the power goes out or you choose to dry camp you simply flip a switch next to your thermostat to use the LP side of your furnace. I can't praise CheapHeat enough. No more risky space heaters to trip over and store. I love the Mopeka sensors! Even though I now only refill the 40lb LP tanks every two to three months, thanks to CheapHeat and Truma (another modificationI can't live without with the washer, dishwasher, and two bathrooms), the Mopeka monitor is even more essential for me. I simply forget about LP most of the time. Every few weeks I remember to check the level using the app. I've only run out once in the last three years. That was after a power outrage consumed one tank much faster than I remembered. Being stranded on the side of the road is always a possibility. Excellent point on filling your tank regularly. My cutoff is 1/3 tank. If you don't have your RV with you, you don't have access to warming layers. It's essential to have a blanket in the vehicle for each memeber of the family. This could be nice fluffy throws or something as simple as Mylar thermal blankets in the glove box. Also necessary is a gallon or three of water (depending on typical passenger numbers) and energy bars. As for the fresh tank...... the tank could have partially froze. This left a block of ice sloshing around like a bull in a china shop. This block of ice met cold and brittle fitting....smash!!

Ice scraper/ brush stay in truck year round. We got snowed on on memorial day last year. And Nov 2, it rained first then snowed a little so that there was a layer of ice on our slide that wouldn't come off the morning we needed to move so then when we went lower in elevation, we had a flood inside our rv that we had to mop up. Added at least an extra hour to our travel day. We're prepared for snow basically Sept/Oct thru May in our state, which means really paying attention to weather when trying to travel in and out of our state during those months. At the end of Nov, we cut our Zion trip short by 3 days in order to get home before wind & snow on i70 came in since the i70 forecast was snow for the foreseeable future.

One option to keep in mind is that while RV KZfaqrs are constantly talking about the struggles with heating plumbing systems, you don’t necessarily have to do that at all. If you can camp somewhere with a basic pit toilet available (or are willing to deal with even more rustic means) and don’t need to shower in the RV, you can just leave the RV plumbing completely winterized, and use jugs of water kept inside the rig for drinking, cooking, and some touch-up washcloth bathing. It might not be great for full-timing, but for the short-term camper it’s much, MUCH less hassle that allows worry- and stress-free camping down to very cold temperatures where pipes would definitely freeze.

I absolutely love your adventure / scenery videos but I'll tell you, your RV "how to" videos are the very best I've seen on the interwebs. Super well done. Thanks!

Love your honesty. As full timers (all season) nomads with Lance travel trailer, we’ve had similar learning experiences. So, we try to minimize the “winter” camping but resent crazy weather has placed us in unwanted situations; Texas freeze of 2021, resent Sedona snow/freeze, to mention just two experiences. Wish you well with your fresh water issue. Pleasant travels.

Best winter camping tip. Go South before the first freeze

I live in my Lance truck camper full-time. Winter months are different from summertime, for sure. I use a dehumidifier next to my bed and two ceramic heaters that I placed so they don't interfere with my furnace thermostat. That way, my holding tanks are heated properly. I fill my fresh water on days that are a bit warmer unless I don't have a choice. Definitely keep the roof clear of snow, especially the vents and solor panels. I also have extra propane tanks. Other than that, not much else is needed. I don't use a heated hose. I simply fill my fresh water tank then drain my hose, and put it away. While traveling, I do run my furnace and fridge on propane. I never drive on snow-covered roads. I prefer to wait until the roads are cleaned up. Don't be in a hurry.

Been there - done that!! Lake Tahoe, Dec 2008, 24 in of snow in 24 hrs. Snow covered the entire steps. Our Golden Retriever looked as us as if to say, you go out in the snow and take care of your business too!! Had to buy propane on Christmas Day ($$$$). Sent the kids on the roof to sweep off the slides. Numerous other trips to Santa Fe, Taos and Pagosa Springs, all that ended well, but not without memorable (read, let's not do that again) experiences. Marc didn't mention this, but one thing we experienced on a couple of occasions was the black/grey tank knife valve freezing in the closed position. We rigged up an electric heater to blow into the sewer connection to solve that issue. Great video with so many good tips!!

Watching this has affirmed our beliefs on Winter Camping. We spent our first winter in NC and only have several days below freezing, but even that was enough to make it annoying, especially with the curved window above our heads dripping on us every morning it dropped below 40 degrees! Luckily we were able to make it less miserable using the tips you mentioned in your last video! Thanks again! 😄

Well, after 2 years of going back to the beginning of KYD, I’m finally up to date. Loving the adventures, the education. But mostly, the destinations and highlights of each stop. Keep up the great content.

After watching Marc and Trish’ s video of several years ago winter camping in Colorado, we will be spending our fourth year at Tiger Run in Colorado for 4 weeks. But I admit you have got to enjoy shoveling snow and winter in general. We’re in our mid 70’s and still do some skiing too.

Sitting here enjoying a hot cup of cocoa while it’s spitting snow and rain outside; just a super nasty, cold day.. After watching your video there is one thing I am very, very certain of - I will NEVER go Winter camping. I knew it was hard, with many challenges, and Marc unequivocally confirmed ALL of them for me lol. I’m all about chasing 70 and just enjoying the water wherever it’s not frozen and above 50 preferably. Hope all is well with your family and your trip to FL goes smoothly. Bring on the sunshine, turquoise water and palm trees - never enough!

Excellent advice! We headed for Kanab (from Missoula) early this morning only to execute a 180, returning home when the road conditions deteriorated - great judgement call when a short time later we learned I-15 was closed at the MT/ID border - and would be closed for maybe two days.

Did you happen to see Less Junk More Journey's video last week. They had a poopsicle. The temp dropped 40 degrees in 4 hours. He thought the drains were broke. He got lucky. Thawing doors with hair dryer... Love watching you guys tackle tough times with class.

Thank you for the fun winter season trip. We travel on ski trips in our 30 ft Airstream and have returned to leaking tank twice. In both cases there is a small 2” piece of clear hoses between the back of valve and tank that froze/broke. It’s easy to fix by removing bottom access cover. Good luck, hope that’s all it is.
