cold weather

What precautions do I need to take for cold weather conditions? My RV is sitting right now and I see that the low temps over the next week or so are right around the 32 degree mark. Are my tanks or water lines in danger?

Probably asked and answered many times. If its cold enough to run the furnace in a gas class A, not hooked to shore power, what is the down side to letting the engine run (over night) providing dash heat which also provides heat in the rear via the Motor Aide system (heat exchanger under the...

Hoping this question isn't dumb, but...we have our 2016 Aspect under a covered building on our property. Building not enclosed. One night of freezing weather tonight for about 6 hours...or so TV says! It's plugged in and I have the heat set on 50 degrees. Is it still necessary to drain all my...

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...

We're about to head out for four days of camping at the Grand Canyon and I've been watching the 10 day weather forecast. The overnight lows have been dropping a bit and are now projected to be about 26-28 degrees. So I have a two part question: (1) at what temperature point do we need to start...

I have boon-docked for up to 3 nights at 15 to 17* temps. Other 3 nights were around 25*. I ran the house propane heater. No freeze ups. During the day around 40* ran the catalytic heater. Kept water heater running 24/7. The water pump is next to the water heater. After reading posts about...

I'm looking at going out in rather cold (-20F possible) weather in the mountains and I'm wondering if anyone else has used my specific model in such conditions. If so, what did you do to prepare your rig for the weather. I have gray & black enclosed and heated holding tanks. There is a fresh...

Hi! Got my school bus from a large school bus company in southeastern Wisconsin. When we tap on the walls and ceiling, they don't sound hollow? (Without ripping them apart to find out due to time restraints). Do buses in the northern states already come slightly insulated? (In our school...

Has anyone installed heat tape, insulation or heat lamps on gray water Maserator pump and line to the dump and lines to main black water dump to protect from freezing. Also do I need heat in the water bay. Just wander what other view owners experiences have been on sub freezing trips in their...

Have a 2017 Chateau 22B. Generator Onon 4000 runs but cabin load doesn't transfer over in weather below freezing. It does appear to transfer over in above freezing weather. Anybody have similar issues and is it the generator or the transfer switch. Cummings claims they can't duplicate the...

We are caught away from home in our class B van. It wll get into the low 20's tonight for about 12 hours and again tomorrow for about 16 hours. We will be connected to shore power for electric heat in the unit. The hot water tank is bypassed. I am not sure where various lines run, but the...

Looks like we're going into the freezer even more. Forecast for my area in the next few days shows -8F to -10F for a low. Right now I have no plans for running my engine in such cold weather, but what other things are there besides fuel additives that should be done to protect the engine as...

Some questions about cold weather travel in a 2007 Itasca Navion. Over the Christmas weekend we will be traveling from central Georgia to northern KY and then on to northern Indiana. This will be our very first trip in this RV. We will be staying at night at my dad's place the first night so...

I'm planning on using my View 24 all winter (and winters here are serious). Will I be okay if I leave set the gas heat to something like 40 deg. or 50 deg. and keep the drain pipe heaters on? It will be connected to 110 all the time. Is there anything else I should be doing to keep pipes from...

We are taking a trip to Bryce and Zion National Parks in early November. I am watching the overnight temperatures and they are below freezing. We are going to be connected to shore power so heat will be on. Do we need to be concerned about either water lines or tanks freezing. We have the...

Howdy all, We picked up our 36T in Albany and are on our maiden voyage to Washington state. Will be headed through some 25 degree areas and I'm concerned about freezing components in the water system. The unit already has front and back tank heaters installed. The service folks in...

I am trying to finish doing the foundation work on the floor so that I can starting building the interior. I don't have time to wait for Spring. Temperatures are going to be around 35F today. I currently have a large space heater in the bus and will be using a blow drier to preheat the metal...

Hey gang, We just got hit with some crazy cold weather over night and I woke up to my water being frozen (so I think). i've been hooked up to the city water with a heated hose, but I heat my Reflection 297RTS with electric heaters to save on propane, so my "basement" wasn't heated and the lenght...

I'm looking for a source in Colorado that can make the cold weather canvas type to replace on my "93" Lite Craft truck camper? Model 7' Timber

I hope all that buy a Montana 5th wheel thinking that this unit will hold up in Sub-freezing temperatures reads this. We purchased a 2015 Montana 5th wheel and were bragged to by the salesmen several times about the 0 degree factor. Within 20 hours in sub-freezing weather in Colorado, my water...

While crawling around under my WGO Vista, I noticed that none of the tanks (black, gray or fresh) are exposed to the elements. Does this mean the rig can be used in cold weather without winterizing? By "cold weather," I mean 2-3 hours of 25F to 30F at night, climbing above 40F during the day...

Hello! We're out and about in our Minnie Winnie 22R and are expecting temps in the upper 20s tonight... Temp will bounce back up to the mid 49s tomorrow. I've got the furnace and tank heaters on (I'm plugged in). Should I be concerned about the fresh water holding tank and lines freezing...

RETIRED!! Purchased first coach last spring. 08 Winn adventurer 35A. Workhorse chassis. First cold weather trip! Heading South from Iowa thru St Louis, Memphis, Ala. Temps will be in the 20's. Will the Couch heater switch keep the basement warm and the pipes from freezing while traveling down...

I am new to 5th wheeling with my 2015 36FB, and plan to spend a couple months in the mountains this winter. How do Redwoods handle below freezing temperatures? Is there anything I can do to make the coach more comfortable? Or to prevent freeze-ups? Does anyone have any experience with this and...

So just what is the temperature rating for the Polar package? More importantly, how cold have you camped with your Keystone TT and what did you do to make it safe and warm?
