  • Well friends we did it again....we're back in Indiana for the winter, cold weather RVing 🥶 This time around though, we're skirting the camper early in the season so we're prepare when that cold weather hits! DIY RV skirting can be intimidating, but know that if we can do it so can you! Come along with us as we tackle this project and prepare for chilly weather.
    Oh and stick around till the end...we brought back bloopers for this one 😆

    Hot tip Mike, When you get a chance, take one of those screw from the fender, head over to Menards, and get "panel nuts" for them, from the factory they just run those through the aluminum, and when reinstalling I almost guarantee several will strip, A panel nut if you dont know clips over the sheet metal (panel) and has the female threads for sheet metal screws.

    • @lifererouted
      @lifererouted  Год назад +3

      That's a really great tip! I will have to do that. I had several that were broken off, and may end up replacing the whole fender if I can find them. Thank you!!

    We are using rigid sewer pipe and heat tape under the pipe to keep it warm in the winter from freezing. A couple of winters in the past 12 years ... we had a one to two week period of continual freeze... and learned valuable lesson on "Slinky waste pipe"...LOL!!

      @@kimberlyn7778 I didn't exactly reply the way I should of! How rude! The type of pipe that we are using is 3"x 10' white drainage pipe (sort of lightweight but doesn't have perforation. Home Depot and Lowes carry it. the RV Outlet has a "no-hub" 90 degree that will attach (Clamp) to the RV Black water outlet... as long as you make sure to give the pipe a quarter bubble or more downslope it will drain all the black water. Our unit has a black water line connected with the grey water so showering and doing dishes keeps the line pretty clear of debris. We installed an electric heater chord to the bottom of our pipe to keep it from freezing (10 degree days in Northern Nevada). Cheers!

    Also a couple more options for winter rv’ing is trying air skirts might be easier another thing you can do put a small mushroom heater underneath trailer or in storage area near water lines , last thing is heat trace dump valve and any other exposed pipes ! Good luck on your adventures this winter and safe travels

    Way to skirt the issue, guys! Hey, it's done, the only thing now is to see how it holds up. Way to go!
    Speaking of gloves... I've lived in the midwest for 21 years now and only this year did I believe I've transitioned to being a midwesterner because I can remove a poop bag from the roll, open it, scoop up Pup's offering, and tie the bag without taking my gloves off. Unseasonably warm for sure! I remember in previous years I would take an empty citronella candle can (they're something like 4"-6" wide), fill it with a few charcoal briquettes, and have it going on a cinder block on the porch for trick-or-treaters and parents to warm their hands with on Halloween; didn't need that this year. Stay safe and warm, write to you again next week. I was going to mention blueberry Greenies for Khali again, but this time of year they also usually put out limited edition gingerbread Greenies that our pup likes.

    Hello friends, Pastor Fred here in Rockwood TN. Glad I found this video today as I am getting my RV ready to move into and had these same ideas for skirting it. Now it doesn't get as cold down here, but we had several days last year in the low teens, so this will be a must! Thank you for sharing....

    We will be in Wisconsin from Xmas till Jan 9th, at a state park, woo hoo! (sarcasm) last year we did thanksgiving week boondocking in the mid teens in WI, this time at lease we will have 30 amp to help a little with Propane, Holy Crap our Imagine 3250BH went through a 20 lb tank every 1.5 days last year I hope a little electric supplement helps that.

    On our trip across the states last year were stopped at the Lewis and Clark Caverns. The owner of the RV park we stayed in lived there year round so he had his RV ready for winter. What they had for skirting was these large inflatable tubes that slid up under the RV as skirting, maybe a purchase to keep at Mom and Dads place for when you visit during the winter months. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a very safe New Years. By the way our cat is named Kahli.
