WINTER RV CAMPING: THE ULTIMATE (HOW TO) GUIDE
Рет қаралды 1,286,930
Күн бұрын🔥 Winter RV camping can be a lot of fun… as long as you have running water and you don’t freeze in your RV. This video is the Ultimate RV Winter Camping Guide to help you prepare your rig for the cold weather. As we mentioned in video, we quickly learned that moving every 3-4 days in cold weather was fatiguing. The setup & teardown process is longer and often too cold to use our water hose. So we changed our plans and booked 12 days at Tiger Run Resort bit.ly/tiger-run-resort in Breckenridge, CO. This is an exceptional RV Resort where you can rent or buy your own site minutes from downtown Breckenridge and close to Vail Resorts and all your favorite winter activities.
⏰ Topics covered in this winter camping video:
1:16 Upgrading propane tanks
2:10 Space Heaters
2:30 Using the RV parks electrical panels
3:15 Using the correct extension cord
3:25 Insulating your water hose with heat tape
4:23 Heating your utility closet
4:48 Using a Camco heated hose

For those that think this is commercial... these are the products we found helpful for camping in the winter. We are not paid from these companies. You CAN winter camp without buying products, but it will not likely resemble a normal RVing experience. i.e. Water turned off or covering the windows is not how we enjoy living in our RV. These products help us live as normal as possible. For those that travel like us and are not appose buying products to make your experience easier, we hope you found this helpful.

There are often different kits for high altitude propane burning operation, at least for residential appliances (thinner air requires different air-gas ratios). Not sure about RV gear, but maybe something to look into for maximum fuel efficiency when staying in the mountains.

Another good tip to keep the water supply from freezing just let the water on the cold side trickle just a little bit inside and that will help. I have been camping in 0 degrees f with no heat tape or anything and never had any problems. Just wanted to give my tip.
@DocChristineGarvey 6 ай бұрын
HI first time winter camper. Thanks what exactly do you do? Just a slow trickle? What about the black and gray water?
@crowman5936 6 жыл бұрын
As a tip what we have done is screw plastic closet rosettes in our shower so we can put a removable wood dowel in like a closet. When you come in with wet jackets or clothes we hang them in there so when they drip water its in the shower instead of on your floor. When your done drying we remove the pole and store it in one of the closets. You can also trapeze 2 or 3 poles with 550 cord to increase the hanging capacity. One other thing is the all thread rod for your propane tanks is 1/2 inch especially with the taller 7 gallon tanks.

Here's the toip everyone needs to know. I took out my furnace and heat my 37 camio with a diesel furnace. 130 degrees at the vents and 2/3 cheaper than propane.i was blowing threw a 30 pound tank is 3 days. No more. Diesel furnace is no smell no noise. When it hits 25 below...the diesel warms the coach well.
@lawrencecavens5760 6 жыл бұрын
Pretty cold where you are, Brrrrrrrr. The one thing that I would do differently is use the potable water system, using the furnace will keep the area around your tanks from freezing. If the trailer is fitted with good protection for the tanks underneath then use that for your water supply. Next keep the waste tank valves open and don’t close them as they will freeze in that kind of temperature and you dont want a split waste tank. Just make sure you use abit more water in flushing the solids from the black tank, Provided that you dont have a long discharge pipe between the tank and waste valve. The Trailer I live in is a 1988 Prowler Regal and I live in it full time 365 days .

Every winter we go on a winter adventure up in the wilds of northern ontario up near Lake Superior. We sled everything in and live in canvas tents with stoves in them. Our favorite spot is Lake Kagiano which is a1.5 hour drive from Manitouwadge on logging roads then a 4 hour sled trip in to the lake. We have a landing made at the dam and that's where we camp. The secret to winter camping is to stay dry and dont over dress so you sweat,as that is when you can get cold. We have a Bonfire burning 24/7 for a week. We cook all our food on the fire and even have a outdoor oven made out of brick for making home made bread and biscuits.The fishing is awesome fresh pickerel every day. Our one rule is ,,,NO CELL PHONES! We let the Ministry and OPP know where we are for safety reasons.We do have one phone but it is used for emergency only! On our trip last year there was a pack of timber wolves eyeing us when we were ice fishing.The stars at night are unbelievable and in Feb we see the Northern lights dance across the sky...it's awesome...HAPPY CAMPING EVERYONE! I Had to edit for spelling mistakes...lol

I have been using Pirit heated hoses on my rigs since 2011 and they have performed beautifully through snowmageddon, ice ice baby, temps below freezing sustained 24 hours a day for more than a week at a time and lots and lots of cold. They have never let me down or leaked. Highly recommend. 2 tips for Pirit hoses...1). Make sure the sensor is outside, not inside of the rig or skirting and 2). Don't let it coil onto itself. I use a small piece of foam pipe insulation if there's a spot where it coils back on itself to keep it from touching which can throw the heating off in the hose. Had the same hose since 2011 and still working perfectly this winter. :)

Great stuff!! Thanks for the info. One thing you might consider is adding something between your new slide out awning and the slide itself. Some folks have done DIY stuff with PVC pipe/elbows. The idea is to add a bit of an lift to the slide-topper so water runs off vs. pooling. Will also keep heavy snow from stretching you topper cover (go ahead...don't ask me WHY I know this Dooh!!!) Last bit of advice...when you leave and are bringing in the slide out, make sure ALL the snow off the top of your slides. The toppers help keep snow/ice off, but ice will slide right passed your rubber seals, that normally wipe water away. Then the ice melts during travel...and you have a big ole mess inside the RV (again...don't ask me WHY I know this either. :) )
@gymml7945 4 жыл бұрын
By BL- We are actually thinking of put something like flaps on the slide awning to keep rain from blowing under the awning. Kinda funny (not) we had a small amount of water on the floor after we had the awning installed. With slide in or out, didn't leak before.

If you spend a lot of time in colder climates then 12v electric tank heaters/pads are worth the upgrade. You can turn them on at your panel and you don't need to use your furnace and propane as much and also have your fire place or electric heater inside to also save propane. I know in Rockwood's the elbows on your back and gray tanks are heated as well. They are rated to -11 degrees.great video, all your videos are very informative about a product or the place you are at. Can't wait for next weekend's post.

Thanks, for the video! You provided some excellent advice! Subscribed! My partner and I are working towards full-time RVing and one idea I had to address the need for heat in storage compartments and utility bays is reptile tank heat mats. They typically come with a thermostat and are available in sizes ranging from 5 watts to over 100 watts. I think these would be ideal to position in compartments like the one you used the 40 watt light bulb. The mats are going to evenly distribute the heat better than a simple light bulb that might be hot enough to melt something. And, it will lay flat, so it takes up very little room, meaning it can stay in there all the time and you just plug it in or turn it on, if it's on a switch, whenever you need it. I intend to use these mats under our lithium batteries that should never be charged below freezing. I also had the idea of installing an aquarium heater in our fresh water tank and our gray water tank to keep them above freezing. They're going to draw little power, are thermostatically controlled, and designed to be immersed in water indefinitely. Let me know what you think of these ideas - because, we have NO experience, yet!

After a week of winter camping boondocking, dry camping on the Grand Mesa National Forest in Colorado. Temperatures were from 0-40s in the days, altitude was 1000 feet. One thing people do not realize when the sun goes down the thin air gets colder quickly. A few tips I found were to isolate and turn off outdoor faucet to avoid freeze up. I was even able to add more insulation behind the shower wall to help prevent freeze up. We learned to open our faucets with the pump off to prevent water line freeze up. we had one hotwater line freeze on us. we had to run the generator all night to supply power the furnace. We were warm and very comfortable for the week. Of course our camper (not going into brands) is winter rated, has the ducted holding tank heater, in floor heat an vent covers. We also would open the bathroom door and bathroom sink cabinets to allow for warm air.

Make a back-up plan for a power failure. You have a gen but can it run everything? For how long? If you lose power for a few days you will need to dump your fresh water tank and hot water heater before the access points freeze. If you can not dump your grey/black tank, add salt(lots of salt - mixed into solution) into each tank. Looks like a great time. Enjoy yourselves.

This is the best video yet! Good job y’all. Tip: Put a space heater by the furnace’s return and leave the furnace blower set to “on” (not auto) with the furnace temperature set a a bit lower than the current inside temperature maintained by the space heaters so that it circulates the warm “space heater” air all over and UNDER the coach without using propane. The blower set to “on” only uses electricity (not propane) as long as the thermostat is set to a lower temperature. Then if the power goes out while you are skiing, your thermostat will kick in as a backup heat source only if the electric space heaters fail. I like to set space heater to where coach is 65° and have the furnace set to 58° as a backup but with the furnace fan blowing constantly.

I would advise people that are looking at buying an RV and plan to winter camp, to buy an RV with the winter package. This is different from different companies, but should include better insulation, and at a minimum the tanks being up and covered with insulation. It may also include all the water lines being run next to the heating vents to keep them from freezing. We have a Keystone that has the winter package, it also includes a 30K BTU heater. We have done just fine with it. Only one time had our water freeze and it was because we left and forgot to check the propane and it ran out. Whoops. It only took about 30 min and we were back in action. We also use the water supply hose that is heated, not the heat tape. Works great, love it. We also do not use any electric heat, propane only and we have a 100lb tank that I go get filled and 4 20lb tanks for back ups. We also do not have skirts, but if the winter was going to last any longer, we would get them.
@boatbuilder1954 6 жыл бұрын
My trailer has a decal the reads "Extreme Thermal Package". I had to drop the belly to access the plumbing due to a leak and I saw no insulation at all. The belly was just corrugated plastic 1/8" thick. none of the sewer or water lines had any insulation on them at all. My 5th wheel trailer is a Crusader by Forest River. I think they are mis-representing their product unless somehow my particular trailer was built on a Friday afternoon. Forest River Please Respond!

I don't know about your trailer but we added spray foam insulation to a lot of places on ours and sprayfoamed the tanks. Skirting is a must and I am going to look at the EZ Snap RV Skirt they used since my home made system isn't nearly as easy to set up. My biggest concern is that it stays flexible at -20C (-5F) so we can take it down and store it without having to warm it up. -20 is about the lowest we will go RVing. Anything colder and it's too hard on the trailer.

Great video guys. I almost spit out my drink when you said poopsicle. We just escaped from the cold as we launched this last week... But watching your video makes me think perhaps in a year or two we will try it for a week to have some fun in the snow. You guys even make cold weather look fun!

Great information. I do not think I am as brave as you two are. While I live in snow country , I do not think I want to pull a trailer through the snow and ice. Enjoy and stay safe.

Thanks for the video! One thing important to point out is that all of the heating elements (hear tape and probe) keeping water from freezing in the doghouse are tied to the 20amp on the pedestal. Plugging in anything to the GFI on the pedestal runs serious risk of tripping that breaker and triggering a freeze up in park infrastructure. At Tiger Run you are liable for any damage to water infrastructure if you utilize the pedestal GFI.

I don't know if it has already been said, too many comments to read, but we use the Pirit heated hose and it is high quality kit. We are wintering in Grand Junction CO and have not had any issues with this line (low teens and single digits temps). The Park's supply line froze up but our system has been trouble free. As for heat tape on a regular flexible hose: that tape gets pretty hot, hot enough to release compounds from the hose into your drinking water. Be careful. You guys are awesome and I always learn something from y'all.

Your AZ fans are soooo excited for your new Grand Ginger to be joining the family! She looks like she will be a grand host for years to come!!! Since we are in the valley, we haven’t thought to RV in the snow because you just have non RV people who talk about the “what if’s” toooo much! I loved your tips and tricks and product ideas!!! Always helpful!!!! “Peace Out” as we call our family RV trips

My wife and I are planning a 6 to 8 months trip west of the Mississippi. We live in Florida. I don’t dare show her this video as her rule is if there’s snow she’s doesn’t go. LOL. I really enjoy all your videos and will continue to watch him

Thanks! Researching challenges one might face and this has been helpful! As am thinking of living the coming 10 yrs roaming in an RV (yet to buy) away from corporate, careers & the whole rat race, into the wild :) ..taking the time to plan this and hopefully spring 2021 the journey begins

Interesting and enjoyable video. We have stayed at Tiger Run during warmer months. It is a wonderful place to stay and very near to Breckenridge. In the interest of electrical safety, I recommend that any electrical devices that are used outside of the RV be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet. This is especially important when the ground is wet or snow-covered. Also, many, if not most, space heater manufacturers specifically state in their user instructions not to power the heater through an extension cord. It would be extension best to power the space heater(s) from outlet(s) inside the RV. Also, the adapter that expands the number of outlets that are available at the pedestal does not increase the amount of electrical current that is available from the pedestal. The conventional/duplex outlets that are on most campground pedestals are rated at 20 Amps. If you are going to use an outlet expander and want to be able to use the full amount of electrical current, then be sure to get an outlet expander that is rated at 20 Amps. Safe travels.

We aren't traveling right now because we are renovating the camper, but it is amazing how much of a difference one space heater can make. Some of them can run off of only 700 Watts of power too.

Welcome to my world :-) as I've mentioned before my manager moved into a fifth wheel and he's been doing great. We sell heated hose and its working great. We took the heated hose and taped it to the bottom of sewer hose so it heats both. Another great thing is restless propane heaters. They sip propane and no electricity. Enjoy

Another advantage of the fully threaded 3/8" shaft for the propane tanks is that it can be screwed down past the tongue a few inches and secured with a lock nut so the wing nut does not have to be tightened as far, plus you can drill a hole in the wing nut and the cross bar or regulator mount and use a long shaft pad lock to prevent tank theft.
