This video was so much more enjoyable than I originally thought. Also my 89 Mallards has almost none of these features. Ah, I just now ,today, in this moment realize it’s gonna be a HARD winter for me.
Excellent job
One thing I’ve wondered about is snow accumulating on the slide out and roof. I live somewhere it snows 350 – 500 inches every winter and wondered about that weight building up
lol that skirting is summer wight mine is winter wait and just roling it up not posible and takes up are pass threw basement or the master bedroom as well as slide skirting
I’d like to use an RV for skiing someday. These are some great tips for that. Thanks!
O ME GOD WAT ITS DIS YOU DRIME YOU ARE BEST JURNALISTOS IN WORLD WET DIS FACE OF VIDEO CHAT IN RV ALOO:)))
Nice yooper necklace. Like myself, if your from there you know about winter living and snow!
Thank you for the video. I do have concerns related to your recommended water hoses. The only good one I see is the NoFreeze hose, which is the most expensive According to many reviews, Camco and the rest either leak after a short period of use or present dangerous fire hazards. And, I do not believe that all 5-star ratings are truthful.
This video is more for RV park Glampers
So really don’t to use a space heater that much that hit the set heated temp off and keep it from running and that means the heated underbelly is not running so gotta watch the use of the space heater right?
That "camp" ground is more developed then my entire province
We’re do you get insulated pilows? From I live in a wild wood 5th wheel hence the name wildwood56 I have
Anyone with extended cold weather experience in a Keystone Montana?
Use a diesel heater or two.
Very helpful. Very good information
Run a portable propane heater in an RV?!?!? 😵This pretty, greedy young woman will still DIE with the window open.
How ’bout we get someone that knows what they’re talking about?
Thanks so much, Tom and Cait! We’re constantly learning in hopes of making our dream happen. My oldest says, “I want to camp in the winter now!”
Is it the Vortex heater that you have under the RV? Wasn’t sure it looked like the same heater
Jeez that is a lot of work to live all year round in the trailer
Great job!!!
What settings do you set your dometic dual thermostat on in winter??? Please pm me
Thank you for the extremely valuable and helpful information. Keep up the great work and stay warm. 🙂
It’s weird hearing you North Americans speaking about ‘dual pane’ windows. We call it double glazing which is easier to say.
Hi do you have a link for those electric blankets ..look for a good one thanks
Camping? 😅
Should I leave my hot water tank on?
Great info. Thanks!
damn, that skirting looks so clean!
Southern Alberta here, yep -40+, it was crazy cold this year. Gonna need wired hoses this year. Lovely presentation, thank you.🇨🇦

Stay Warm! ☃️
Excellent, informative video. Thank you.
However DO NOT run your air conditioning in winter to remove condensation, or for any other reason. The compressor is not designed to operate in cold temperatures. with low, or no head pressure, the compressor will “free wheel” and fry itself. It’s a $2,000 repair bill.
One thing you didn’t mention, best way to keep warm and prevent moisture problem is to install a wood stove.
Amazing winter .
This was very helpful thank you
Our family is considering full time rving. We are only planning to travel when we want, as we will mostly be stationary because we pastor a church and have kids in school. Our biggest worry about taking the leap is the water and sewer hook-ups in winter. This definitely helped answer most of our questions ❤
You guys made some good choices in life eh.
👍
Amazing video . Thank u so much
I want to see her closet at home.
What exactly is that propane tank checker brand please
Great video. Lots of information 👍
Thank you , great video.
Right on I’m from Sturgis SD
ive been planning on getting a nice rv and living in it year round. (at least untill i can build my actual house, then ill use the rv as a guest house/ "man cave".
this video helped a ton. love it.
Where did you get that propane level tool?
Thanks for the tips. My wife and I are currently looking at travel trailers (Never owned one). It will be used primarily in the Northwoods. We plan to keep it on our property up there. It’s completely off grid.
I understand there will be some challenges in regards to cold weather camping however I am running into issues trying to find a brand that will be more suitable for colder weather. Most salesmen we have spoken to do not have much to say in regards to four season trailers. If anyone has reputable brands they could recommend, please let me know. Heading over to a place to look at a Cherokee Grey Wolf tomorrow morning. Thanks!!!
Your video has been very helpful to me as I am considering buying a used RV to live in as apartments are sooo expensive to rent.
My roommate and I are parting ways so I have to be out by December or January 1rst, almost every apartment I have looked at has been out of my budget and that is if I am lucky.
I have an appointment with my banks finance officer to see if I am even eligible…..
If I get pass this hurtle then I hope to go examine the one I am thinking of getting, the owner said it has a climate shield so can be used during the winter season….but our winters here in Canada can get extremely cold some days.
Very informative and useful. Many thanks for sharing!
Gf…get a diesel heater. Look outside the box.its half the cost. I run one and everyone wonders where my propane tank is. Lol I don’t have one.
Mind sharing the average price for the skirting?
One of those most well done videos I’ve seen on YouTube you get straight to the subject well done
