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.
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!
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.
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.
Could you explain the blanket on release valve part? Im living in my 2005 Fifth Wheel this winter in central vermont.😬 Everyone thinks im stupid. Maybe i am. Haha! But, i wanna get all the tips i can. And you seem pretty knowledgeable!
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.
Our family is considering full time rving. We are only planning to travel when we want, as we will mostly be stationary because we pastor a church and have kids in school. Our biggest worry about taking the leap is the water and sewer hook-ups in winter. This definitely helped answer most of our questions ❤
professional presenter, accurate and clear explanations and top notch, network quality production. Wonderful industry representives and inspirations to us all. Texas Jack
This is our 1st year wintering in our Rv and we are so thankful for your suggestions. We actually loved the Custom RV skirting so much (we don't care for the look of the snap version) that we will be traveling to Rapid City, the 1st week in Nov, from Eastern Washington to get ours custom made along with the Thermaslides. Custom Skirting LLC is wonderful to work with and we get to stay in their RV park for the week, while they do the measurements, for free. I will recommend them to all RV'ers. They own the patent for this channel lock system since its their idea, so putting South Dakota on our 'must see' list was a bonus. Thank you so much for the recommendation and all the very useful and needed tips on how to stay warm and comfy. Love your channel!
I really appreciate the pillow insulation for roof vents and heating with the on board propane heater because of the vents designed to help keep the tanks heated. I have been using just electric heaters because the on board heater is so noisy and produces an insane amount of moisture inside the RV. We are too late to make the skirting happen for this next deep freeze but I will have them on the way ASAP. Cheers!
I am really glad to see you back again. I have missed you for a while now! I hope you are not going to try wintering in UP of Michigan. If I am adequately recovered from Covid by time to leave this year, I plan to winter in Florida. Hoping you do the same!!!
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!!!
Awesome video, awesome couple, loved the camping in the snow . Great presentation on camping in the cold. Keep up the great videos. Take care and God Bless You Both and fur babies!
We used to use a heating pad under the dog bed next to our bed, set on low to med and our dog would stay in the dog bed and not venture in between us for survival, if you know what I mean. Great video! Happy Holiday's!
This video was so much more enjoyable than I originally thought. Also my 89 Mallards has almost none of these features. Ah, I just now ,today, in this moment realize it's gonna be a HARD winter for me.
We are actually in the greatest era of electricity innovation in human history. There’s no chance we will have energy problems, government just needs to put the money into it which they will
@@hayden8693 We lived through the terrible Texas freeze 2 winters ago. People died from freezing temperature due to no power. No power for 3 days. Living in our RV. If my husband didn't hook up his truck to our camper battery (running the whole time), we would not have been able to run our furnace with the propane and we had 200-pound propane tanks in addition. We didn't have a generator. So actually, I agree with Joette -- have other options for heat.
What a great video! You haven't mentioned the cost of this custom skirting. Would you mind telling us what it cost? We have looked into other skirting that you install yourself and it was very expensive so I am curious what custom skirting cost. thank you for all the tips. Safe travels, God bless
*I have insulated tarps to run all around my RV and i'm planning on routing the exhaust from my furnace under the under penning so that i don't have to to run another electrical connection. my furnace puts out more heat outside than it does in the RV and while you can't just route the exhaust under the RV you can pipe it through another pipe and use the emitted heat from the furnace to keep the under trailer area warm and dry. I may develop a kit that you can connect to utilize that heat without getting the propane exhaust fumes bleeding back through into your RV. Just makes no sense to let that heat just get blown out into the winter air, might as well utilize it*
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
Awesome information!! Haven’t heard that much detail in any of the winter rving videos so far! Definitely going to have to watch some more of your videos!
Wowwww..... your video was very Informative 🙏🏽& easy to follow. I Appreciate you taking your time to explain & go into detail. Thanks for the video & Happy Camping 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
ive been planning on getting a nice rv and living in it year round. (at least untill i can build my actual house, then ill use the rv as a guest house/ "man cave". this video helped a ton. love it.
Ok you got my vote yes unvented heaters need a window cracked I am looking into 95% effecincy furnace from the mobile home industry to use in rv app condensation in furnace might be addressed
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?
I am new to your channel we are the Kincaid‘s family and we have just but our first 2021/5 wheel RV and I have been searching videos for winter living and tips and I absolutely love your post thank you for such wonderful info and thank you for letting us know where to get the skirting we are going to try to order ours now so we can have it before the winter months thank you again sincerely the Kincaid family full-time RV living 😇

As always, an incredibly thorough and professional presentation about a very important RVing topic! One question… On that gorgeous aerial shot of your RV completely covered in snow with the steps not yet cleared off and no footprints… Did Tom actually stick his arm out the window to launch the drone?! We can just picture that! 😂
Some great ideas, I live in the south of NM and just bought an older model fifth wheel. Will be moving up to Montana within a years time, will need this info again. Cheers!!
We wrote an entire article about RV skirting on our blog, if you want to check it out. In this article, we also share the company we went with for our custom RV skirting. mortonsonthemove.com/rv-skirting/
Excellent video for cold weather camping. However if the night time temperature drops below 32 degrees, I’m gone. I don’t like see that white stuff on the ground!
good info. ive ONLY left my black and gray valves in the open position. yep. whole effing RV full of gnats. the smell is alway on my food when im eating. so youre saying to close them?
I just returned from Florida last week. First day there was 43 degrees. Reno? Wow... didn't know they get snow like that. Here in Montana we have no snow. Crazy weather. Glad you are okay! Merry Christmas!
Quick question ... is the small tabletop dehumidifier you have sufficient for your 5th wheel or do you use two? I've seen mixed comments about them. Our camper is smaller than yours, but we definitely get the condensation on the windows during the winter months so we are hoping this helps dry things up. Great video! Can't wait until we can one day be full time RVers!
If you have a smaller camper with considerable condensation, you may want two dehumidifiers or one large one. You can always try one small unit to start, and if it's not cutting it, get a second, placing them on opposite sides of the RV. Here are our recommendations: www.mortonsonthemove.com/best-rv-dehumidifiers/
Excellent, informative video. Thank you. However DO NOT run your air conditioning in winter to remove condensation, or for any other reason. The compressor is not designed to operate in cold temperatures. with low, or no head pressure, the compressor will “free wheel” and fry itself. It’s a $2,000 repair bill.
lol that skirting is summer wight mine is winter wait and just roling it up not posible and takes up are pass threw basement or the master bedroom as well as slide skirting
Thank you for the video. I do have concerns related to your recommended water hoses. The only good one I see is the NoFreeze hose, which is the most expensive According to many reviews, Camco and the rest either leak after a short period of use or present dangerous fire hazards. And, I do not believe that all 5-star ratings are truthful.
Great video! One question- what about driving time? Can’t use the heater. Do we need to worry about it? How long before things start freezing up on the road?
We are full timers Question about your tankless hot water heater I’ve heard they can’t be in 32° or less they can freeze and cause damage, we are looking to get a new rig and they only come with tankless now
It's not common, but some people add them. Campfires are usually allowed but I can't say I have seen an rv running a wood stove in a park. I have seen it on public land however.

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.
Good tip!
One of those most well done videos I’ve seen on UA-cam you get straight to the subject well done
Love my cubic mini wood stove. Also dries out the air in rv and is a nice accompaniment to propane heat
Nice bro I need to get one
edit: how was the install process?
Thank you nice info
I run a pellet stove last couple winters.
So nice having the constant heat vs propane.
But I live full time in my rv...

have to shevel the roof
