Winter RV Camping The Right Way
from:If you think that the only time you can enjoy your family's RV is during the summer, you are wrong. Unlike what most people would believe, winter RV camping is becoming more and more popular, due to many things, not the least of which is the increasing crowds that overflow campgrounds during the summer. Winter RV camping is just one way to avoid the hassle of a million people packed into a single space, and get a bit closer to the great outdoors. And, with the proper planning and correct equipment, it is easier than you might think.
Successful winter RV camping begins with the proper RV. For the best results, people who go winter RV camping should opt for a smaller RV, which is easier to heat than one of the massive 45' behemoths. It is also easier to get into a campground on sometime slick winter roads with a truck and trailer or a truck and camper or camper shell than with a large motorhome. Just keep in mind the logistics of your trip when you are considering going. As in all things, be practical.
Some RVs have been designed especially for colder temperatures. These models have denser insulation to protect them from frigid winds and freezing nights. If you are planning a winter RV camping trip to a place with extremely cold winters, it would be wise to have the right equipment. Again, be practical.
Hand in hand with the right recreation vehicle for winter RV camping is the right RV accessory. Many campgrounds that offer hook-ups during the summer do not offer them during the winter. So, if you RV relies on electricity for heating, you will need to get a generator to supply it with enough juice to keep you warm. Do some research on available generator models, as some will function more or less efficiently—or not at all—at certain temperatures. Get one that suits the needs of your trip.
Another thing to keep in mind is what to pack. You will of course want to pack the proper sort of clothing. Snow boots, snow clothes, sleds, and all the trappings should be included in your store of equipment. If you are planning to do any trekking, bring two pairs of shoes so that you can alternate between them to allow them to dry out.
And, one last word of caution. If you are going to take a winter RV camping trip, pack enough food to last for a week or so longer than you plan to stay. You never know if a freak winter storm will blow in and leave you snowed in for several days longer than you expected. It is better to be safe than sorry.
