cold weather

I just purchased my 2014 Vista 26HE two weeks ago. I had it inspected, after which the POs re-winterized it. First any way to double check that they did it correctly? Second, any suggestions for cold proofing it? I bought the Wave 8, but now I have to get some temporary fixins to run it...

Question on tire pressures. If I inflate all tires to the prescribed psi when it’s 27 (or so) degrees, then drive to a place where it is in the 40s, should I be concerned about over inflation due to tire temp increase and ambient temp change increase during the drive?

I know I don't have a four season camper but... Looking for input on how get a better insulation for my 2021 1808FBS I exclusively boondock, and while I don't camp in "winter", spring and fall temps near me often drop below freezing (and sometimes well below) and my camper is not very well...

First I want to say that I am new to not just this forum but posting in forums. Second I am relatively new to RVing but have been on a number of trips that my wife and I enjoyed and have purchased a 2024 Axis 24.1 that we enjoy and used for our yearly trip to East Coast Canada from Chicago area...

Spent the day underneath my 2018 Imagine 2400BH adding a custom bumper (with 2in receiver) to find some less than satisfactory workmanship. I have no idea how I have not had more issues after seeing how the water lines are not insulated at all. I cut the PEX and moved to the hole in the cross...

We just bought a brand new 2023 Imagine 2600RB We tried the furnace (Dometic) for the first time and this is the sequence of events: 1. Setting for "Heat" on the Furrion control 2. The blower starts and stays on for the entire process. 3. Igniter clicks 4. I hear the roar of the flame for...

I'm using a blue-ox sway-pro WDH. I was wondering if cold temperatures can affect either the spring bars or chains. I don't normally tow in the coldest part of the year but this year I will. We'll be leaving PA for FL in late December and coming back in mid January. Bitter cold temperatures are...

We live in Southeast Texas where next week for 36 hours the temperature is going to be between 15-22 degrees. We have not winterized our Travato 59k for storage as we planned on using it all year around. I have are RV at our home an are open to any suggestions on how to protect my pipes and...

My husband and I have been looking at wood stoves for our full sized Thomas. The inside should be about 300 square feet. I’ve seen that most people opt for the miniature wood stoves, but we plan on being parked in Alaska next year and I know the area regularly gets to -20 degrees F. Is a...

So here we are and it is 15 degrees F. The Norcold N8X fridge shows a green light for normal operation. However it is not cooling at all. I have been running on the A/C side. I have checked all fuses and breakers, but I have not found a reset switch. I just switched over to propane to see...

We pick up (assuming inspection goes well) our brand new 2108DS tomorrow afternoon, and plan to spend the night doing a complete “shakedown” at a full hookup campsite near the dealer. I have asked the dealer to dewinterize so we can test out the water heater, etc. Low temps tomorrow night are...

Hey all, was hoping get some suggestions. I am a full time camper in the 2670 camper and had my pipes freeze inside the front cargo compartment last night. The temp got down to -27 with the wind chill. I have the arctic package but it doesn’t look like that area receives any heat from the...

Hi all, Delivery and PDI are scheduled for Friday. It's supposed to be cold. 40s during the day and freezing temps all night. Any thoughts on 1) how to verify that the heated tanks pads work correctly? 2) Heat is going down under the floor? 3) It's Texas - we could need the A/C in a week...

I am wondering if anyone else has experience with the situation I am finding myself in. Last summer I had to take apart my qg4000 and replace some parts because I didn’t exercise my generator as often as I should have and the old fuel caused major problems. After I did the repairs the...

any advice for staying in a 22m for a month in Nov. in western Kentucky? Now lets be real! My wife thinks we can.

Hi all, My wife and I just bought a 40ft 2015 Bluebird that was built for service at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It was designed to operate in-60f to -70f. It has less that 14,000 miles on it, but over 10,000 idle hours. Unfortunately its adef system, but I fugure we’re all gonna have to learn to...

Greetings All, Before I get the "previous threads" message so many of these seem to get when posting new, yes, I have looked for this answer to no avail. I am hunting 2nd season at 8000+ feet this fall in Colorado. Lessons learned from the first time: SKIRT THE TRAILER. I had some...

We need to drive to Colorado next week and where we need to stay forecast is a low of 20. I assume if we unhook the water source at night we should be okay. Do we risk hurting/damaging anything for one night at 20 degrees or lower? We do run a small plug in heater that heats of the space...

I have very little freezing-cold weather experience so I need some coaching for diesel RV use: * I know Air Conditioner system includes a Heat Pump. * I know a heat pump has real problems heating below 40F. * I know I prefer to use a 1500W floor heater when I have free shore power. * I...

We have a nation 24J and traveling from GA to CA will encounter some nights with 26 F temperature. During the day will go up to 40s to 50s. Should we need to do something about the pipes? Thank you JR

When the temperature drops below freezing, I have trouble opening the outside holds. The locks work but I have to use pliers to pull the doors open. Anyone have a good idea of how to keep the rubber gasket from freezing to the door?

Our 2018 2108DS Has been a good trailer, though we do have a shopping list of things to be warranty repaired after the winters travels. I'd like to know what others do when it drops below freezing to protect their outdoor shower from freezing.

Because of recent freezes I have had to drain water from my 28BHBE trailer. I can’t believe how much water drained and for how long. I have never filled water tank other than hooking up to shore water. Where does all of that water come from and is there any way to speed up process? I also...

We spent the weekend at a local campground. The forecast was moderate - highs in the 50’s and lows in the 30’s. We’ve spent some time in the 30’s and it is ok. The furnace is at the very back of the coach, under the bed. The bedroom stays warm but the living room is always cooler. A winter...

Prior to purchasing our 2019 Minnie Winnie 22r I spent an insane amount of time (won't admit how much) researching what others do when using their smaller class c rv's in the winter without winterizing. I never found exact answers but mainly opinions from some who never camp in higher...
