Tips to Prepare Your RV for Winter Camping

Did you know that planning can help you explore the great outdoors right in the dead of winter? Don’t worry if you are unsure where to start—your friends at Clear Creek RVsare right here to guide you.

 

Here are a few strategies to help you prepare your recreational vehicle for winter camping. We hope you can use them to make your outings more fun and successful.

Add Insulation

Before hitting the road, make sure that your camper is insulated suitably. The idea is to retain the heat inside your vehicle and keep the cold out.

You can install draft guards to prevent leaks around doors and windows and use weatherstripping to seal any gaps. You can also add cushions to your vents to prevent warm air from escaping your vehicle.

Get More Propane

Next, you want to replenish your stock of propane to ensure you don’t run out of this essential supply when camping in the cold season. Propane keeps your camper warm and helps you and your family to stay comfortably. It is a good idea to find out if there are any propane sources near your campsite before departure. Otherwise, you want to arrange for a few extra tanks in advance.

Gear Up

More importantly, you want to get all the necessary supplies to make your RV winter camping safer and more enjoyable. Create a checklist of the things you think you will need on your trip, and ensure you bring each item. Your list should include warm clothes, extra blankets, food & bottles of water, a first-aid kit, and a comprehensive toolbox, among others.
