- By request, here is how we live comfortably in British Columbia, Canada during the winter in a fifth wheel RV. Tips for staying warm that you may never have thought about; how much propane you may need; how to get the snow off your RV easily; how to skirt your RV to keep the cold out, plus a snowball in the face and other fun times to warm the heart!

Love this video. I learned so much!😊
Awww, thank you Hannah! I’m so happy that it helped! I have a couple of more recent videos of my new off grid life that might give more insight into winter full time rv life. Wishing you the very best! 💐💕
Great to know info- love to see more
Thanks a bunch! I have a few other videos of winter off grid rv life on my channel. It was a challenging winter! I appreciate your support 🙂
Thank you for the tips. We are finishing up a permanent RV home project for a blind man here in Ontario. Should be interesting to see how he makes out. Will eventually have a mini series. Cute outtakes.
I certainly wish him the very best of luck in his endeavour. RV life has it’s challenges, but obviously this gent has already overcome huge challenges! I hope you’ll send a link when the series is released. Thanks so much for stopping by! 💐
You make me want to live in an RV! What a wonderful home you have. ☺️
Full time rv life has its perks and challenges like everything in life ☺️ I’m in a different rv now, that I custom renovated and I love it! I look forward to sharing our new home in video really soon! Thank you Michele! I hope you’re having a great weekend! 💕💐
I really looking forward to that!
💕🌸
Cool
@@IoIo-qu2vk thank you! 😎
Living in Ontario a.l year in my rv I have a 450 liter tank they come fill it when needed
@@user-xv1wd3hc7p that’s way more convenient! There is a new place that does that here now too. Wishing you a warm winter! 👍
I plan to live in rv 364/12.
Though my job with long traveling(not in rv).
.
Need to find mechanical washing machine 😆
@@IoIo-qu2vk there are some small washer/drier combo’s that fit into rv’s. I think an old fashioned small tub washer for outside would be nice. I need one too! Best of luck on your rv adventures 😊
Yes I can rent them. U live in the wrong place. All over Alberta they deliver to the campgrounds and the propane truck comes around every week and tops everyone off. You can also buy them but renting is definitely an option.
@@nicholaswilliams5587 since this video I have found a company that will rent out larger tanks. It’s way more convenient indeed. Best wishes from BC 👋 Hope we have a mild winter this year!
hey nice vid and nice tips, just wanna know what model or brand the toque is?
Lol! I think it was a Canadian tire special! 😆 I think my Daughter has it now or I would check the label for you. Thanks so much for stopping by and giving me a chuckle this morning! 😃💐
Hello! You commented on one of our videos, and I was curious what additional things you do to stay warm in winter. Our daughter and family live in BC!
All that snow and cold has only happened in recent years. Crazy! We aren't in a place that would allow the front to be boxed in like that, but I love it!! And especially making it into a greenhouse in the warmer months! Awesome!! You must live there year round?
Curious why you chose to stay in a colder climate in the winter. We have had the cold chase us several times from the North to South where we go for winters, but really like being where it's warmer instead of cold, snow and ice! Wisconsin gets all that plus the below 0 (F) and winds!! The snow IS pretty...but you can keep it. Haha!! God's blessings to you and your daughter. 💕
So kind of you to visit my channel! Thank you very much! We live where we do simply because it is where the majority of our family is, and unfortunately, Canada doesn't really have many warm places to escape to. Vancouver is normally warmer on the coast, but as you mentioned, in the past few years the weather has gotten colder and snowier even on the coast. When we sold our home, there simply was no housing available, including rentals, and I wanted a simpler life. Other ways we stay warm include wearing layers of clothing during cold spells, lots of propane usage for the furnace, and trying to keep the humidity down with air movement and damp traps. I do hope to get a small Grizzly woodstove installed before next winter which will help keep propane costs down and reduce humidity. It's so nice to meet you! I have moved into a different rv since this video and did a total renovation on it. I will post a video showing the before and after in the coming weeks. Hope you are toasty warm! It has thankfully warmed here in the interior of BC. All the best to you! :)
@DebbieNobodyneedstoknow1 we also keep 2 small floor fans running to circulate the heat and have a non-electric dehumidifier. The part of TX that we're in this winter is unusually dry! Son't know if that's becsuse they had a drought summer or if it's typically more arid. Last year, we were in humid Houston. A mini wood stove would be awesome! Every time I mention the idea to Gary he gives me this look and funny smile. Lol Perhaps if we lived in it in one location and didn't travel he MIGHT be more on board??
I will subscribe to see more of your videos, and you may want to check out our most recent one on fire safety in an rv that I just posted last night. Be safe! God bless! 💕
@@RoadsofFaith I just paused your video on fire prevention to reply to your comment. The video is very informative with such great points! After seeing that rv burned, I don’t blame your husband for being cautious sour a woodstove idea. I am stationary, but still will be so cautious and maintain it carefully if I get one. It is raining here at the moment. January is typically much colder, but I welcome the possibility of an early spring. God bless you both! I’m going to watch the rest of your video and do some fire checks on the rv tomorrow! 👍🙏
Where in BC are you living? I live full time in my RV on Vancouver Island. Great tips . . Thank you!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I live in the Kootenays. I bet Vancouver Island is a bit warmer and has more pad rentals available ☀️☺️ Wishing you the best!
Omg im in ablerta and I am terrified of -50 for weeks. I was thinking of doing the rv kife next spring but the cold terrifies me.
@@Crazylab1616 -50 is harsh! It’s not always easy doing RV life, but it has perks too. I have a Cubic mini woodstove now that has definitely helped. I have a few other videos on my channel of the winter rv life. I will try to do more. Thanks so much for stopping by! 😊
How did you tack your skirting? Live in AB and winter camp a bit, thinking skirting for next winter.
The reflection insulation skirting is wrapped and stapled over a wood 2x4 frame. Rebar held it in the ground to further stabilize it. In my present rv I did no rebar. I did it in sections then taped the seams, making it easy to remove. I can access underneath easily. They have stayed in place solely because of measuring each individual section and making it snug. I can’t imagine AB weather with no skirting. It makes such a difference in the inside temperature. The reflective cuts out the wind well too. Best wishes from BC! I hope that helps! Perhaps I will do a video or shorts video on it . Thanks for watching!
I’m doing the reflective bubble wrap and vinyl. The vinyl will snap on at the paint line on the body for looks and the silver bubble wrap will be all the way around from tucked under the back and front bumper to the sides where it’s just being leaned up against the side with the storage doors open then slam them down on them so it’s held perfect. Not sure if I will skirt the slides or just belly tarp them with 2” foam against the floor then the vinyl going under it from front to back to hold it up.

That's a whole lot of thoughts! I'm curious what it all pertains? I hope your day is awesome!
How many people live in the camping during the winter?
I had my Daughter and myself living in it at the time. She got the bedroom and I had the couch. I have a two bedroom rv now
@@DebbieNobodyneedstoknow1 but there’s more people in the place? Not in your rv. In the place
@@melannyjuarez25 Lots of people are starting to live in their RVs full time, me included. I'm in NS and I follow another youtuber that has been living in her RV for 5+ years now, who is also in NS.
@@melannyjuarez25 yes, there were about 12 people there in an rv/trailer park
Thanks both for your answers. My wife and I are in Quebec. I have a lot of difficulties to find a place or people whom can guide us
Don't waste your life looking for attention cheers
Well cheers to you anyways, and happy holidays 🥂✨🕊️
