Great advice Carolyn. Another tip is, if you are getting a lot of snow, build up a bank of snow around your RV or Rig. The snow forms a natural barrier to the cold. But remember to have a shovel of some sort to keep the snow in line with the bottom. Snow blow’s easy, so pack it in the direction of the wind. Also, digging out requires you to use traction, so having sand or leveling pads can help.😊
@@TruthSeekers1989 make the level of the snow so that it blocks the air and snow from building underneath the RV or Van. You want to make a section of the bottom is not allowing wind, snow and ice to get in and then block your ability to move, if necessary. You may need to shovel the snow to build it.
I think we found you when we were researching how to live in an RV in the winter last year. We lived through temps that got as low as -35F in Minnesota. We're happy to report that we had running water the whole time. We would also recommend having some RV antifreeze handy. Last year we used it in our grey and black tanks while we learned our limits and what we could get away with. ✌
I used pool noodles on all pipes and lines - slit one side with a exacto blade and they pop on pipes and lines easily. Not sure it is the best method, but does give some insulation
Hi Carolyn. I'm Lisa and I live fulltime in my 33ft Fleetwood Bounder. It will be -5 tonight. How do I keep warm? I am lucky enough to be able to plug in, but at that temperature, the pipes are frozen, including propane pipes. Oh and I live in Alaska. I use space heaters, and a Cubic Mini stove. My freshwater tank is empty, I have water jugs where they can stay warm and liquid. I also have heated blankets on my bed. That is a game changer for me. I also make sure the batteries are all charged, that includes running the engine and turning the heat on now and then. That will also keep the jugs from freezing. I took your advice about the blankets on the windows and also the reflectives. Have a safe winter.
I live full time in my older class A up in Vermont. i deciced to just drain my tanks and pipes since im staying at my partners parents place till after christmas and i can shower and use the bathroom in there. Then im gonna refiill everything once i start my trip down south. But for warmth i just put blankets up over windows and block off the cab area to keep cold air up there, my Rv also has two furnaces (only one works right now) and i can get propane delivery.
Winters been getting colder and summers been getting hotter around here. 3 inches of snow yesterday frozen up today. I turn the heat off in the trailer when I sleep with multiple sleeping bags, a neck scarf thing I pull over my head, I stay warm, if it gets below 20 I keep the heat on longer so canned food won't freeze. I turn off my water and fill up containers
Thank you for all the great tips. Though you often mention that you are not a scientist you have a good grasp of the expansion of water when it freezes and what that can do to the containers that it is confined in. The lower the level of water in the storage tanks the less stress stress they will be subjected to if that water completely freezes. Some RVs have drain valves near the lowest points in the hot and cold water pipe systems that allow a greater amount of drainage from those pipes. Caution is advised that their may still be low points in the water pipe system that traps a plug of water that can still rupture a pipe when it drains but taking your precautions reduces such issues. You may have already covered it in prior videos but when an RV is put in storage for a lengthy period of time in temperatures that drop well below freezing for extended periods of time then it is best to fill the water system with an antifreeze solution made for RV systems to protect all the plumbing. When that is done the user must go through an extensive flushing process to ensure that very little of the antifreeze solution remains in the system when the potable water system is restored for consumptive uses.

If I am remembering correctly, your last video on staying warm in the winter in Matilda went VIRAL! lol Us furr parents also have an extra special heater too🥰 Your faucet looked like it was on hot but it's also worth mentioning to turn both knobs to drain your hot water tank (part of the tank is exposed behind the vented metal door) as much as possible as well. One other comment mentioned the "low point" drain, a person could catch the water from water lines there, as well as, like you said to leave the faucets inside open over night. Thank you for the video and the great advice!
All very good points 👍. I had a Mr Buddy heater hard lined into the propane. It runs all night and keeps me warm 👍. No electricity required, just a convection fan. 👍👍
You should really look into Chinese diesel heaters. They sip the diesel (3/4 of a gallon for 24 hours constant) and hardly use any battery except for start up and shut down. 10A for a minute or so and 1/3A running on low, 1.5-2A on high, which you don't really need except for a quick warm up. mine is running on low @ 25F barely above low, and it is keedping me toasty in my 8X16 cargo trailer, with 2" of polyiso.
This is why I love your channel so much, you have such a array of different topics and type video thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
Great advice. I would add some RV antifreeze to drain elbows. 19 is as cold as I've gone. I don't like to be cold but even desert nights can freeze, as you know.
Hi Carol ! ❤ THE VIDEO! The Christmas art on the video was a nice touch ! Thank you for all the great advice ! It's wonderful how you share with us all & work so hard to make an amazing video with so much content! Have a nice night pretty lady ! ❤🫂
#standinggrandma Thank you again for sharing. I often find myself in Omaha, Nebraska during the winter time. I go there to visit my kids. I wintered over during covid the last two years and it gets to 22 degs below zero. Last winter I bought a Chinese diesel heater. That thing is great. It keeps a steady 60 degs temperature inside my poorly insulated 1976 RV even with outside temps below zero. The price of diesel sucks right now, but my heater only sips the fuel.
@@cynfll Thanks for replying. I ordered the one I have from Amazon. The brand name is Tseipoaoi $169. I just looked it up and it is no longer available. Amazon's recommended replacement is only $129. As I understand it the diesel parking heater was introduced by Webasto maybe 30 years ago. It was in response to diesel trucks needing to stop idling their rigs when parked during cold weather. Webasto had a patent or something granting sole rights to manufacture them. As the patent ran out about 10 years ago the Chinese companies started producing knockoffs. The name brand units are $1500 +. The knockoffs were sold for less than $300. The first ones were so cheap, you had to re-engineer them to get them to work good. Alas, it's been 10 years and the Chinese knockoffs have been slowly improving. Today, they are really cheap (
Oh wow! Thanks for all the information that can alter your life in a van/RV. Very important to know the weather in the local area and plan ahead. Also appreciate you sharing all your knowledge! I enjoyed this video as well as all of your videos! #standinggrandma
Carolyn geez louise! 11 degrees is pretty darn cold! But you're just so practical and prepared. We live in Buckeye AZ and we're freezing with temperatures in the 40s! 😂😂 That said we do get through 118 temperatures in the summer 🤦♀️ Great to see you today! #standinggrandma.
#standing grandma. And thanks for the video. I hope I don't encounter freezing temps in the desert in Jan and Feb when I am there, but I know it can get cold at night.
Thanks Carolyn. As I mentioned in comments before, I'm renovating a '90 Winnie 21ft. I'm in Southern Louisiana and it was like 35 last night. I'm thinking that I need to plan ahead while the cabinets are still open enough to do stuff to the plumbing. Thanks for the advice and reminders!
1st of all I must have that shirt!! Have you added it to your Amazon store? If you're going to be in freezing temps for more than 24 hours do you think it's necessary to drain your hot water tank? 💙🦋💙
Informative video Carolyn. I agree with your temp cutoff for worry. Typically, we hook up at 25°F. Haven’t drained our pipes, but do your other suggestions. Stay warm. We’re spending December in Asheville, NC
@@Couplescience No electric heat, except tank heaters. Bulb/utility light in wet bay. Reflectix in windows. Block cab with Blanket, turn propane furnace down to 47°F at night. Open cupboard under bathroom and kitchen sinks. Water heater on
In my sticks and bricks I've use split pool noodles for covering pipes. Would that work in an rv too? I know draining them is best, but what about using it a preventative measure for unexpected freezes?
Volume shuts down when it came to talking about the small business. I just got a 1993 roadtrek 190 V so I have to learn all this stuff b4 I was just in my minivan but now I already learned to dump the holding tank aka the black tank and how I have to completley lay on the ground to find the pully lever to pull to release it..omg. 🤣🤣 crazy just crazy. So im learning.
#standinggrandma Thanks for the tips. If its sunny during the day and there’s plenty of solar its also helpful to keep canned foods warm with a cheap 12 volt blanket and Mylar wrap.
Sounds really practical! Good to know that the down alternative works as well as real down but without the cruelty!!!!!!! Plus fewer allergy issues do double benefits.
That sounds so hard. But I know you’ve been living in an RV for a very long time so you have worked out all the bugs. It’s the cold weather I would be Herton with. I have bad arthritis and that would be so miserable. But you do a great job.
Tuned in to see what other people do. Was hoping there's an efficient way to keep the water on in any temperature, off grid. Looks like there's no easy way to live comfortably in an RV during the winter. I have a vacation home in Berkeley Springs West Virginia. I'm not there all the time, but I've left the heat on and the power failed in a snow storm. Needless to say, I had to replace almost everything. In the past, I've done what you recommend, draining and leaving things open. Well, that's not 100 percent effective. Water sits in pipes and some areas will still break. I have to blow them out with air pressure. I hate using antifreeze, but better than losing fittings and such. I think you're lucky, and because you live full time, you can monitor it, but for part time RVers, I wouldn't suggest doing the minimum as you're demonstrating.
I’m really grateful for this one. I rented a classic for2 weeks in October and really was cold in Idaho except when visiting friends. I wondered what you do👍👍😄😄😄
@@richardthomas1743 Thank you Richard for replying to my question regarding the water heater possibly freezing. My problem is that I only turn it on as I need it, certainly not at night. So I guess my choice would be to either drain it or leave it on, which would eat up my propane. Any suggestions?
Good advice for campers and for really old houses too. I definitely do on my camper but also I actually do a lot of those precautions on my house when we have the rare hard freeze. I love the #standinggrandma creations! I noticed on their website they also have a sticks and bricks near the Alpine Village of Helen, GA!
Thank you so much for all the good info!! I will keep that in mind if I am ever in the cold weather. As of right now, I'm not full time. but at some point I would like to be. I love your videos...always filled with great content and information! You and Sadie keep warm!! #standinggrandma
Brrrrr! I'm cold just thinking about it. LOL! We used to put a 40w light-bulb in the pump house (in Minnesota!) and that was enough to keep it from freezing. I wonder if that could be utilized somehow in an RV?
Yikes - 40 degrees inside - hope Sadie got under the covers with you! I take care of a pit bull with short hair and he wants a blanket when it’s 60….So, if you decided to plug in on a 17 degree night, would these precautions be unnecessary or do you still have to worry about pipes freezing? Just wondering.

We have used a tarp around our rig and that did amazing at keeping winter wind at bay

It’s hard to stay warm when it is really cold out. Even when I’m plugged in, a lot of cold migrates through the floor.
@@Couplescience That sounds good. Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, floors can be very cold. I use rugs throw rugs any kind so there is not a bare floor and it definitely helps.

Just run a generator and use a space heater. Warm and toasty.
As long as I have propane, I am warm it will keep the inside from freezing.

Can you drain your pipes at an factory installed low point drain usually under RV in a convenient location?
I love the idea of opening the faucets. Great video. Thanks!
You're welcome! Opening them allows any air to escape that might cause pressure and breakage :-)
And...there's the wind chill factor.
