Camping in your RV in winter is not the taboo thing today it was in years past. Most of today's RVs are built to take the cooler weather in stride. For any campers here are a few tips to make winter camping more enjoyable. Oh, the reason I know quite a lot about this, is because I sold and camped in every different type of RV and Tent known to man in every weather condition.
Most RVs can handle some winter use, especially if the water system isn't used. The biggest non-plumbing issue camper’s face while attempting "arctic" camping is with condensation, in my opinion. With all the moisture and breathing inside your unit it easily blurs the windows with condensation. It’s and easy fix with Rain-X anti-fog. You can also bring your dehumidifier along if you want.
Most of you know when you bought your unit if it’s a “4 Season” camper or not. It you have an enclosed underbelly and heated holding tanks you are ready to camp. If you don’t have an enclosed underbelly just don’t use your water or holding tanks and use the campground facilities. It’s as simple as that.
So before you leave home for the campground in January get the propane tanks filled the fridge stocked and head on out. Once you get to the campground they will be able to provide you with facilities and restrooms to help you out. I know that Granite Hill Camping Resort in Gettysburg is open for guests, starting the first week in January and the Ski Slopes are just 3 miles away. Granite Hill also has a fully functional Bed & Breakfast for visitors in the winter also. So if you are getting “Cabin Fever” give us a call and make a reservation. I have found that some of my best memories camping were in the winter months. A Valentine’s Day trip always makes for a memorable trip as well.
Keep the shiny side UP!
