cold

I went outside today and noticed my anti-freeze was a little cold: Is this a problem? I didn't think it could freeze until it was -50 or something. What is the coldest you would consider staying in the RV? Have you put skirting up and does that help?

2022 Mercedes Sprinter, diesel (Jayco Melbourne 24L) -22° C, Wouldn’t start. There is no block heater to plug in on this RV. Read the manual, boosted it with good cables. Didn’t work. Tested the battery, tested good but we bought a brand new “smart” battery just in case. Still wouldn’t start...

I have a Jayco 287BHS. It has been in storage for a month. Today I opened the fridge and the freezer and fridge was cold. Does it automatically switch to propane and run the fridge even with the battery disconnected?

The lithium batteries are LiFePO4 unless I am sadly mistaken, and as far as I know they don't take kindly to attempts to charge them below freezing. My 21NE has those outside in the utility chest near the hitch - how worried do I need to be about that? Is there a low-temp sensor? Does it have...

Hello! Just had my tent trailer dewinterized, and alas, it's snowing! Tomorrow, the overnight low is forecast to be -5°C (23°F), but obviously that's only for a few hours, then it warms up to above freezing again. If you were in my shoes, would you (in approximate order from most-convenient...

Hello Hello! I live in Minnesota and my bus from south cali is experiencing its' first real winter as I demo it ahead of the conversion. It's now cold enough that I wasn't able to start it up the last time I went out there. I purchased an espar/eberspacher hydronic heat system to install at...

snow, cold, quiet, and solitude!

We are partial timers in our new 331RL. Meaning we spend 4-6 months a year in the North Georgia Mountains and the rest of the year in Phoenix Arizona. Next week we are expecting night temperatures in the low 20’s and mid 10’s and daytime temps in the 20’s and 30’s. We need to leave the RV for...

I have an IOTA charger in my Hawk shell. When the camper is offer and strored in the cold, what's best for the battery? Leaving that thing connected, or no?

I am a newbie. Let's start there. I will be winterizing my 2018 Dodge Promaster for the first time. Can anyone recommend a guide to reference or a YouTube video to watch to help me through this process?

Hello, first time full time winter RVer. (2020 high country 362RD) We had a freeze come in last night, I went out side this morning to check things over and found an ice cycle had formed under my RV at the rear sewage drain!! My black tank valves stay closed, but I did not close the grey valve...

I remodeled a 1989 skoolie recently and my wife and I moved up to Idaho, near Idaho Falls. We heard so many things about insulation and since it hasn't been insulated but we were short on time and it was already almost done, we decided not to change it. Now we are a little scared of the coming...

Heh everyone, Winters coming and I'm about ready to invest in a new stove. Just curious to what everyone is using. I can't use those stupid small ones so don't bother I love in Canada.

Hey all, Wondering if anybody has winter-proofed their greyhawk/redhawk for winter camping, other than running a heated water supply hose to their spigot? Recently found out that our rig (2018 Greyhawk 30X) is not at all winter ready. We have exposed water lines running from the rear driver...

https://youtu.be/0WahKBLEUgQ 6 month old 24f furnace started doing this on our new years camping trip. Temps were in the 30s at night, tank was full, medium and low and it would do this. Thought it was a 12v problem so put new batteries in halfway through our trips and topped off the propane...

What size and type of dehumidifiers are you all using or recommending? I have a BT Cruiser that needs to be stored/parked outside for two months of rainy cold pacific northwest weather. Do I want a tube type to drain the water away? A catch basin type? (If so how many liters am I likely to...

I will be hunkering down full-time in my new Jay Flight for 6 1/2 months in the Tahoe area through winter. What have folks found to be the best skirting option and why please? Thanks in advance for the help!

I have a 2015 305RL that we bought new and have had issues with the refrigerator staying cold while using LP since day 1. The dealer replaced the "board and switch" while it was still under warranty but that didn't fix the problem. We were told that one of the advantages of having the RV...

Back in October, we put our XT200 Toy Hauler up for the winter. At the same time we had a death in the family that took up a lot of time, so I didn't have an opportunity to go through it from hitch to back bumper to make sure everything was set. Over this past weekend, the temperature got up to...

Hi all. Our situation happened this past Sept. While out camping, the furnace/heater was working just fine Friday night. We wake Saturday morning freezing! I go turn up furnace/heater, nothing. We checked under the sofa, nothing blocking the vent. I lit the pilot light and used the oven to heat...

I put 4 new tires on the 2000 Montana 3280 and weighed at a CAT scale. The weight was 10750. Not bad. I started back home, pulled into a Walmart for the night. I did a test of the torque for all wheels and was good. I then tested the pressure. All tires were in range of 79-81 psi. It was warm...

You have to hate cold mornings when you are packing up to pull out. Most of all packing the water hose when you have to wrestle it into the best circle to store it away. This is as good as I could get it.

The DW and I are going to be starting our fulltime lifestyle here in a couple weeks. We are having and estate sate and putting the house up for sale on Sept 21. That is the day we are moving into our TT. We have been dreaming about the fulltime lifestyle but due to some things outside of our...

Living in Vermont and having a limited summer I am interested in extending this. I have a couple of questions 1) The Seneca's have heated tanks. It appears that these are heated by the ducting from the units heater, are the tanks located in a sealed compartment? Do those of you who...

I am "South" but not far enough! The forecast is saying two days dipping below freezing. One night 18°. Daytime just above freezing. We have seen 30 to 32° nights with no issues. I am hoping someone with experience in this same unit sees this and has experience and will reply. I have no fresh...
