Cold weather

I have a class a FRED Tiffin Allegro Openroad and I'm looking to make it as close to four seasons as possible. Any suggestions??
  • See the thread in the full time forum called winter camping.

    I've boondocked at -37 c (-34 f)

    If you dont have already Id recomend instaling Espar diesel heater
    Those things are very if not most efficient.
    And small enough to fit even in vans and tc campers.

    There are also Chinese copy being sold for much less money,
    not sure how reliable are those
  • Swope7896, I think that my first question would be ....how cold is cold? Determine your coldest expected temperatures and act accordingly.

    Will you have water in the system,? If temperatures are quite cool for extended periods of time, will you have power to circulate heat to the tank/tank valve/waterline, plumbing areas. Power for forced air circulation is a non-issue if you are in a campground. If boondocking, do you have adequate battery capacity to run forced air without running the generator on a near constant basis?

    For cold weather camping, there are quite a few things to consider and evaluate! memtb
