Ep. 453: Surviving Sub-Freezing: Our Real-World RV Winter Camping Routine

We've now roamed throughout North America as full-time RVers from late April until late November or early December for more than 5 years (long-timing even longer than that), and each winter we've returned to Utah's Salt Lake Valley for ski season. So, what's it like enduring a long winter camping in your RV? And what steps do we take to keep both ourselves and our equipment warm and comfortable? We'll show you the measures we take to survive sub-freezing temperatures in our RV, in this episode of Grand Adventure, so come along!

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around North America. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time. We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
