winter

I live in my 2016 T2700 Evo. I am located in the mountains for my first winter. I have read that I should skirt my trailer with 2 inch insulation foam, like the kind you use in garage doors. Has anybody else lived in their trailer, full-time, in freezing conditions? Any suggestions? I have also...

Anyone use the winter covers on 5th wheels? What's your thoughts? Are they really worth the money? Is ADCO a good brand ? Do I really need a winter cover or just a rain dust cover?

IF you own a driveable RV that has the Evans Tempcon take note... Winter is upon us and want to share something you may or may not know. The vents for your dash may be allowing air to enter when the engine is OFF. This is a design glitch that has an easy solution. (When you are driving and...

Newb here and searched to see if this was asked before and sorry if it was and I couldn’t find it. I bought a 2005 Cedar Creek from my brother, who bought it from a used RV dealer a long time ago, but was not new from the factory. With that said, there is an old label on the RV that says “...

2022 F.R. Wildcat 5th wheel. We have been full timers since May. Looking at our first winter. On our panel there is a switch for “Tank heater”. When and how should we use this. We don’t boondock, yet, so will be on shore power for 2-3 weeks, 1 day travel then back into a park. When the temp...

We’ll be traveling from Northern Michigan to Arizona the day after Thanksgiving. It may be colder as we travel through the Midwest for the first few days, but after that I wouldn’t imagine it will be below freezing. I’m wondering if we should winterize. Or, if we keep our heat on while...

Hi all. Ok so I made a stupid mistake closing our seasonal trailer for the season. I had some water in the kitchen sink for rinsing hands while closing up. When all was done I simply let the water down the drain and left without also running some antifreeze into the sink. I was almost home...

I may have to live in my camper during the winter months. My question is does this model have heat pads on my tanks. If so how do they work. Do I need to have the furnace on or what. 2) is if it doesn't then how would I keep the tanks from freezing. I have an electric fireplace. I didn't won't...

Greetings, We just bought a new mattress for our trailer and for the first time since we've owned it we're deciding whether or not we need to do anything to protect it from nesting mice while it's closed up for the winter. This mattress, unlike the previous one, is a "real" one, so it's a...

Hope someone can help me . I have a Trekker cap on my 2501TS . I used an ADCO cover the last couple years but it went south this last winter , seems like the additional fabric over the cap allows for the wind to eventually tear the front. Has anyone with a Trekker cap found a good cover ...

We are considering taking our Solera 24R (2400R) on a winter trip that will take us to temps in the 20s at night. Our rig has the arctic pack heater pads on the black and grey tanks.. I am concerned about the valves that are in their own compartment but not heated and the unprotected pex...

I have a 2019 Salem Cruiselite that I’m trying to dewinterize for the first time. I need help! I’ve watched a million videos but have questions after starting. 1. All the videos show a valve on the water pump that needs to be turned. Can’t find any valve? 2. When we winterized we blew the...

We are very new to the camping world. We are storing our RV next to our garage in the grass. We know that we will need concrete pavers as well as rubber on top of them to store our camper tires on. We are also going to get a cover for our 2017 forest River wildcat as well. We are trying to plan...

We are in the uk and want to use our van all year round, we have the extended season package fitted. Is it any good? So what tip should we look at, obviously we have single glassed windows, will this cause us issues. Do we need to do anything extra in the bedroom to stop condensation from the...

My Roo is winterized. I am starting to dewinterize and wondering if you can flush out antifreeze with the city water connection? Or should you run water through the fresh water tank and pump? I'm also thinking to leave hot water heater bypassed until all is flushed out?

When we took our RV out of winter storage this Spring, we found that the little critters had built themselves a football sized nest in one of the inside drawers and mice poop everywhere. Any suggestions on how to mouseproof an RV? Still trying to find where they get in and slowly filling the...

Got my new Salem 25RBHL, and when I filled the fresh water tank, I could not get the water pump to pull from it. So I called the dealer and they had me change the position of one of the valves by the water pump so it would pull from the fresh water tank. So - my question is - where was it...

Hey all, I am new to owning my own camper. I need to dewinterize (is that the right term?) my Palomino SS1251. Is there a video that someone can recommend or some really good directions? I appreciate any and all help!

Have some questions. Will be using my Columbus Compass 297RKC for the first time this weekend. There are a few drops of antifreeze in my residential LG refrigerator ice maker. How do I get the antifreeze out of the ice maker? Don’t want to run it through the filter and have to replace it. There...

We own a 2016 Coachmen Freelander Micro 20CB class C Motorhome. I winterized all the water and drain lines last November and see no evidence of leaks. Currently, we have no plans to go camping due to health issues and have the unit in storage. Is it Ok to leave it winterized with the RV...

It’s going to be 23 in Jackson tonight. Winterize? I have a space heater running in the camper. Should I just drain the hot water heater?

We got a used 2015 Rockwood 8312SS travel trailer. We are going to dewinterize the trailer. It has an outside inlet antifreeze connection outside the trailer next to city water connection. Is there a valve inside I need to address? What position does it need to be? If I'm not using the city...

We decided to downsize and do some coast to coast trips. Kids are gone and we didn't really need the La-Z Boys or Sofa. Every trailer we have had up to now has had valves around the tank/pump to allow for winterizing or summer running. All this unit has are two pex pipes, with caps, hanging...

Anyone have a link or know where the manual is to winter Winterize/De-winterize a 2021/2022 Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L? Thanks.

Rockwood 122S First year dewinterizing and I saw a You Tube vid where the guy switches out of by pass mode and adds 1/4 bleach for every 15 gallons in the FWT. So he is forcing the antifreeze followed by the bleach solution to the HWT??? Can this be correct? I was planning on leaving in...
