, and the hectic rat race of daily life. You relish the serenity
of your surroundings in your new motorhome. At the destination of

nature.

Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Just like a typical warm, summer day
. Guess what... it’s actually the dead of winter, and the woods are
freezing! You’re sitting pretty though, as you snuggle up to a
good book, or a favorite movie, in your nice and warm RV, safe
from the elements.
There are so many fun things to do on a winter RV camping trip!
You’ve got skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and even ice fishing
, if you’re the patient type. Just like the crowds you left behind
, most motorhome and travel trailer campgrounds in the winter will
be mostly crowd-free. Not everyone can appreciate the peaceful,
beautiful winter silence one encounters while in the great outdoors.
Sounds like a trip made in heaven, but there are some basic
precautions and preparations to be taken before embarking on such
a blustery trip. Make sure you’ll be traveling in an RV that is
sufficiently insulated with properly functioning heat, and large
tanks that won’t freeze in a day or two. Sealing windows in
plastic or a protective film, and having the windows and doors
weather-stripped will keep cold air out. Cover bare floors with
rugs, and park in a sunny spot.
Keeping your RV warm also helps to prevent cracked pipes, which
can be costly. Wrap water connections in heat tape, and leave a
faucet open a wee bit. This will keep water moving, therefore
helping to prevent freezing.
Bring along lots of warm clothing layers, good hot food fixings,
and some indoor activities, and you’ll enjoy a great camping trip
in a winter wonderland. Some road salt wouldn’t hurt either, in
case you get stuck in nature’s glory.
