Winter RV Camping Guide
Embarking on a winter RV trip requires specific preparations to ensure a safe and comfortable experience, especially when dealing with snow and ice. Here are essential tips for winter RVing:
Heating Solutions: Use an electric heater when connected to electricity, or a small portable propane heater to efficiently warm your RV without an electric hookup. If using electric heat, make sure you're not drawing too much power and you're within the amp threshold of your campers electrical system.
Proper Insulation: Insulating your RV is crucial. Use foam boards under slide outs, consider an RV skirt for extra warmth, and in emergencies, pack snow around battery bays for insulation.
Protecting Pipes and Tanks: Prevent pipes from freezing by keeping water moving and wrapping them with heat tape and purchasing heated hoses. Ask our front desk where to purchase heated hoses and cold weather accessories. Be aware of the risk of burst pipes, as experienced by travelers in extremely cold conditions. Tanks can be protected with insulated skirts.
Essential Gear: Pack vent insulator pillows, weather apps, warm clothing, slippers, a snow shovel, ice scraper, and emergency supplies like canned food.
Window Insulation: Keep shades closed in snowy conditions and consider insulating windows with shrinkable plastic film to reduce heat loss.
Safe Driving: Drive slowly, especially in snowy conditions. Motorhomes handle differently on slippery roads, so maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
