winter camping

In anticipation of a month long ski/road trip, I decided I was going to make my own thermal pack instead of spending the $1,400 for a new one. For reference- I am an experienced (although self taught and definitely not an expert) sewer and enjoy making usable things like this. My main goal was...

Hello WTW Community! I recently purchased a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR and 2014 FWC Fleet from a family friend (we've got upgraded suspension and airbags so I'm all set there) and I am looking to do some upgrades before heading into the mountains in January for a couple of months. I've got the...

This has probably been answered many times before but I am not finding what I need in the searches. I have a 2020 Eagle HT TT which in about a week and a half we plan on taking it down to Florida and in a few weeks bring it back. We live in Southeast Michigan and the camper is sitting in a...

I’m struggling to find anything on insulating my pop top for winter camping. We live in Ohio and need a way to insulate the top 🥶 products? Suggestions? Advice? Things to avoid?

I have a Jayflight 29QBH i keep on my recreational property. This trailer is new to me but I am wondering about winter camping. I plan to blow out my water system for winter storage, but If I decide to go use it I am not sure if I have to worry about things freezing while in use. Example - I...

First time poster! I am looking at a 2007 Fun Finder 139. I live in Alberta Canada, it gets cold, and want to use this trailer in the winter, mostly at ski destinations. Has anyone used this when it’s really cold, say -20C or 0F? Did you keep water in the tank or is that a bad idea? Did it...

I know there are polar/artic packages but I can not find anything - manuals or spec sheets, that gives me an idea of how well this 2012 Zinger 26BH is going to handle the upcoming Ohio winter (I know how bad they can get). It was comforting to see the undercarriage was covered, but just how...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here and I am new to RVing... we bought our 2020 16RK last November and now find ourselves living in it in the Kootenay region of BC, Canada (Rocky Mountains). I hope this post is in the right place... I'm hoping our fellow fulltimers will have some thoughts...

I just purchased a Greyhawk 27U. Jayco claims that the tank and pipe heaters allow you to use the RV down to 10 degrees, if you have the power. I just took my first trip and notice that the PEX pipes are fully exposed. How could they possibly claim these are heated pipes? Do I have a...

I have owned my FWC Swift for about a year now and had no problems winter camping in the Alpine Lot of copper mountain for a night or two during the winter to ski last season. This season I went up and camped there and got a notice on my car saying no camping was allowed and that my vehicle...

Hi! I'm about to pay a pro to shrink-wrap just the roof of my 2011 FF X 244RBS to protect it from the ravages of winter in northern New Hampshire. I've heard of shrink-wrapping RVs for winter storage, but haven't heard of shrink wrapping the roof only while the camper is still in use. I will be...

Need some advice from you seasoned RVer's. We have a 2019 Greyhawk Prestige 30XP that we've had winterized with the pink stuff. We're planning to take it on a Thanksgiving trip to Colorado where we will be at a campground for two weeks, during which we will have to leave it for several days...

I own a 2018 Jay Feather 23RL. Plan on taking the trailer out of winter storage in Virginia for a trip to Florida. I want to be able to use my freshwater system while in route. Can the freshwater system be used in temperature below freezing? Is their tank insulation and/or tank electrical...

Those of you that have tank heaters installed for cold weather camping; Are your tank heaters 12 volts or 110 volt? Do you have them on your water tank only or also on your grey and black tanks too? What temperature have you used them in? Do you use or recommend adding them or would you...

I'm a new owner of a 2019 Greyhawk Prestige 30xp and am planning to spend some time in Colorado Springs during December. Can anyone tell me how well this unit can handle the cold winter weather? I'll be plugged into shore power and can run my furnace and heat pump, but will that protect my...

Can anyone recommend an affordable and effective winter skirt for 2017 Jay Feather TT? I'm living in mine through the winter on a contract job. It could get down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit before end of my contract.

How do folks use their FWC during the winter? Ski weekends, winter camping, winter travel.

I live in the Portland Or area. Our winter weather is generally above freezing. My 31UL has tank heaters. Assuming a cold snap, if the tank heaters are left on does that generate enough heat to keep the lines from freezing assuming temps are above 25 or so? Has anyone wrapped lines with heat...

I winterize our Jayco 2013 X20E Travel Trailer by draining the hot water tank, then blowing compressed air through the lines. It always works great and is simple. The problem is we have to keep it in a lot some distance away. So rather than bring it home after every trip, I'm thinking of...

Howdy to the group! My wife and I have decided not to store the trailer this winter, but rather set it up on a winter seasonal site. We will use it as "home base" for skiing, snowmobiling, and shopping. The question is regarding the slides. Slide toppers or not? Those with toppers: does the...

Hi there, just bought a 2001 28ft. Jayco Designer C Class with 14K miles on it and I am considering taking it 2 hours north to McCall Idaho for a weekend of skiing with the family. The temps will be above freezing for most of the trip but when we take it up to the hill the temp will be right...

Hey fellow Jayco owners. We have had our 2015 Seneca TS for roughly 6 months now. I thought I would hop on and report that the Seneca does well for winter travel. We are making a loop from Indiana, to Utah, to Texas and back to Indiana. We've been on the road for a week now in sub-freezing...

Well, its not exactly all my idea; Uncle Sam has elected to move us to the Rapid City, SD area in September, probably for at least 3 years. We went up there last week to scout some sites and found an amazing plot. Made a new friend who has 15 acres in the Black Hills, between Mt Rushmore and...

We are planning on taking our '69 HiLo from Indiana to AZ in the next few days. We'll be passing through some cold/freezing weather on the way and may even do some boondocking. Has anyone had problems with their cables going up or down in the cold? Do you think it would be a problem? The...

I am going to Yosemite NP on Friday November 19th for five days of winter camping. WE will be doing a little snow shoeing and hiking with our two dogs, while the cat stays in the Hi-Lo. It appears we are heading into the first winter snow and I am hoping you experts can give me some advice as...
