This girl just rocked the entire how to camp in cold weather scenario to the max. I like this girl

[thatshahab]

She is my favourite now. It is such a relief to hear someone explain things and sound assured & confident. I stop watching most videos because people? Talk? Like this?

Thank you. Subscribing.

Anyone remember infomercials of days gone
This is the absolute best one I've ever seen!!

[jjm]

Very well narrated. She is very easy to listen to.

The best video I have seen concerning cold weather camping precautions. You explained everything perfectly. I like the skirting on your RV. You are very articulate.

[trustme]

I'm impressed. The information was good, but what I'm impressed with is your fantastic delivery and knowledge. It was like watching an experienced field reporter on TV, only better. Not bad, for a girl, and better than most men.

Great video! You guys have the best produced RV videos. I wish you would do more. While spending the winter in Texas a couple years ago our biggest problem was the slide outs. We were near Port Aransas so we did not have freezing temps but it was very windy. The cables from the slides enter openings directly into the trailer. We used gorilla tape around the openings to seal them off and rolled up towels on the inside to seal around the slide. Pool noodles or pipe insulation works on the sides but the area on top was too large. We did purchase a dehumidifier which helped tremendously with moisture. It helps to run your exhaust fan while showering and keep the bathroom door closed so that humidity doesn’t enter the remainder of the RV. Do most of your cooking in a crock pot or pressure cooker to reduce moisture. Stay safe!

The best instructions and information I’ve seen. So easy to understand and how it works. Safe travels and merry Christmas 🎄

[MrAlbarry]

I see questions about winter camping online everyday. You’ve provided a wonderful reference for someone spending the winter in their RV. Great instructional video. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this together.

Awesome video! As my wife and I live full time in our FW and we are currently in Up-State New York, your presentation of the cold weather prep was spot on. We have gone so far as to place clear plastic on the window to reduce warm air loss. Yes, we leave two small windows uncovered so that we can get good airflow. And our egress windows remain unimpeded. We have had our "Sinky Slinky freeze before. To help reduce that problem, we use a moving blanket to cover the outside release valve. Seems to help. Once again, great video. Will continue to view your channel.

One of those most well done videos I’ve seen on YouTube you get straight to the subject well done

[shaundavidson]

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?

[joettewhite]

Can't depend on electric running these days! Heating hose is great if you've got power! We could be having energy problems these days coming

[holmesfamily]

Crack open the roof vent in the bathroom. Hot air rises and it will take the moisture with it. It also keep the air inside the camper smelling fresh.

[omalley]

I have used just a basic flood light under the camper closest to the utilities. It also a lil bonus there is light underneath.

[weirdbeard]

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

[PrairieJournals]

Southern Alberta here, yep -40+, it was crazy cold this year. Gonna need wired hoses this year. Lovely presentation, thank you.🇨🇦

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!!!
