Here are a few cold weather RV tips just in case you're planning to head out this winter:
Do not store any water hoses with water in them. If you need to use it, it will probably be frozen. You can take it inside to thaw out if need be, or use a hair dryer.
Covering the windows with curtains, drapes or almost anything will help to hold some of the heat in. It helps to cover overhead vent openings too.
Oh and don’t forget the electric blanket. It can be a lifesaver at night.
It may be necessary to take military type showers to keep from filling the gray water tank so quickly. Heat up some water, take the water and a tall glass and enjoy your shower.
Leave cabinets or drawers open where water lines are located to allow heat to circulate around plumbing.
Try to avoid opening the entry door as much as possible.
If you haven’t purchased your RV yet and you know you will be using an RV in cold weather see if the manufacturer offers an arctic package option when you buy it. Some packages include higher R-factor insulation values, enclosed underbelly, heated holding tanks, dual pane windows and more.
