winter

Newbie winterizing question. Live is South Texas where rarely gets cold, but now that I purchased a camper it is going to drop to 5 degrees! My Rockwood Mini-Lite 2507S has an Antifreeze Inlet that says "to antifreeze, close the valve to the tank, open the valve to the inlet". I believe this is...

We're currently staying near Kerrville, TX at a FHU CG. We came South earlier to get a little early Spring :rolleyes:. We're not Winter campers and have only camped occasionally when overnight temps dropped into the 20s. At those times the only precaution I took was disconnecting the water...

We have a 2019 33DS, and it looks like we are going to have a couple of nights of colder than usual temperatures - down to 16F. I must admit that I didn't pay much attention to winterizing when we bought the motorhome last summer. We are supposed to be camping over the weekend, and I expect...

We have a new 2021 Flagstaff EPro and this week it's supposed to get into the low 20's, but if there is no water anywhere in the system, what is the point of putting antifreeze in the lines? If there is any water at all, it would be minimal and wouldn't the lines expand enough to handle any...

Hey so we keep our rig indoors and plugged in do we have some really frigid temperatures coming in to Oklahoma this week and next week. And I didn’t winterize the rig, we typically have it done. Can you guys give me some fast suggestions. Like using the pump to pull it through the water...

Information for winterizing my new RLT2608 BSD on line does not reflect my trailer. Looking for specifics on the water valve positions for normal and/or winterizing. Pictures for my unit attached. The first pic is the incoming line valve. The second is the water heater. Thanks

Hello! My family recently purchase our very first RV but we are completely new to RVing. We are hoping to do some weekend winter camping at nearby ski resorts in PA. Based on our reading, we know we can add insulation on the pipes, use heat tape and etc to keep the pipes from freezing while...

I have a class c with the 3.0 Diesel and the diesel generator. Has anybody experienced any problems camping -10 to -20 degrees? I do have it winterized. We were out on New Years and it got down to 14 degrees. No problems. We are looking to go up to the High country ( we live in Denver )...

Hi all, about to be the new owner of a 2015 Wolf Pup 17RP. Feeling pretty anxious about the cold weather. At what temps/number of days does the propane heater no longer keep things flowing if we're looking to use all the functionality. I've read about supplemental heaters, tank heaters...

Hi! Hubby and I both grew up camping, me in a pop up and his family in a slide in on a pick up truck. Our son is turning 10 and in cub Scouts so he's gotten interested in camping and we finally took the plunge this week. (Keeping the tent for scout events lol) We go for final walk through and...

Been really enjoying our 16.8 since July. Trying to continue heading out throughout this winter but even with the tank heaters on, our water system keeps freezing up. Luckily each time it thaws out in the sun and works again without any cracked fittings. I think it’s the lines running into or...

Hi all, I just moved up from a Sunseeker 2350 to a 2850 SLE and wondering that if I wish to camp in below 32 degree weather in say Vermont or New Hampshire what do I need to protect the RV from freezing pipes, appliances and other working components. I saw something about an Artic Package, but...

We are planning to camp over the MLK Week-end in East Central Alabama (Lake Eufaula Campground.) One night the low is predicted to be 30 degrees. Should I be concerned about pipes freezing? I currently have the camper winterized and plan to re-winterize it when we return home.

We may be taking our Isata 3FW out at the end of the month. I currently have it winterized, but will need to have the black and gray tanks available if not the fresh tank. I know I will need to have water in the fresh tank to operate the heaters. We are equipped with solar, so how long can we be...

We thought very hard about leaving home this winter due to the Covid 19 disaster. We decided to head to the Rio Grand Valley as we have done the past three years to enjoy the warmer weather. We take Covid very serious and always wear a mask when out in public. We get carryout food a couple times...

Our 2015 unit is designed for winter use with double pane windows, heated tanks and thicker walls. While we have used it down to minus 8 Celsius, it was only for a couple of days in the fall. Any tips out there from other owners of this unit for extended use in real winter, as in the mountain...

Got back yesterday from our 1st. time winter camping, Breckenridge, CO one night -8* -17* with the wind chill, before we left I thought my biggest concern was that the outdoor shower was exposed to the outside, only to find out when stuff quit working how much needs to be done to winter camp.

The season is still 4 or 5 months out here in Colorado but I am want to be ready. This is my first time with a camper that I can’t garage (biggest one I have owned). Can someone walk me through the dewinterizing process for wolf pups? Mind you I was a glorified valve turned in the Navy, but...

Well, I bought a new forklift. Rather than have it shipped I went and picked it up with my DX3 and trailer! Went to Denver, grabbed my trailer. Waited there 2 days since it was snowing. Headed out of Denver Tuesday at noon. Roads were clear and dry. Hammer down till I got to around Des...

I am parking my new 2021 Berkshire 34B unit April. It gets cold here in Sun Valley Idaho. The internet search says DEF freezes at 12F. The 34B doesn't have a DEF heater and the dealer said not to worry. Hmmm mixed feedback.

I was hoping to maintain my chassis battery thru the winter using a solar trickle charger. However with the cold and lack of sun ( been snowing off and on for a week) the battery state of charge has started to deteriorate. My feeling is I may have to remove the battery,bring it home and put it...

Searched and read quite a few posts. Didn't find an answer. Trailer is in south Texas. No long, hard freezes expected. May be used in place occasionally between now and spring. Plan is to blow out lines with air (including low points). I don't think my hot water tank has bypass valves...

I receive my 2019 FR3 33DS from the factory in late October. They told me it was winterized. I thought anti freeze was used, but it appears as though water was drained and blown out. I have 2 plugs to reinstall and only see one to replace under the RV behind the right rear tire. When I turned...

We got our rv winterized, then decided to take a camping trip south and need to dewinterize. I get flushing the freshwater tank so the antifreeze washes out through the sinks, toilets and shower and they run clear. What do I need to do with the water bypass and where do I find the valve for...

Would love to hear any experiences, tips and tricks, or warnings about winter camping in our new Wolf Pack (355pack14). We plan on winter camping many weeks this winter in northern new england so it will be cooooold and snowy. What do you find best to skirt with? What have you found you missed...
