Question about RVs sold in Canada

As others said it depends on the fiver you buy and it's cold-weather abilities, mine has an arctic package with heated tanks and insulated enclosed underbelly and such but with the widespread damage freezing a fiver's plumbing can do I wouldn't trust it to begin with especially when it's so easy to winterize a fiver to begin with, it's simply not worth the risk! Winterize your rig then once you get below the snow belt simply drain the rv anti-freeze out and add fresh water and your on your way.

Hi,

Replace the return air grill for the furnace with a fan. This will cause a low volume of air flow through the duct work, keeping the plumbing from freezing up. Then you can use electric heaters to your heart's content.

The only differences in winter capability are what options you add to the rv when ordering. Some have better R value, and some have electric heaters on tanks. If the underbelly is enclosed and heated by furnace ducts....that will help, but only if you run the furnace vs ceramic heaters. Some rv's can be ordered with winter packages, so investigate what different manufacturers include as std vs optional. For spring/fall use almost every rig sold will do the job. If you want to camp in continual sub-zero weather then prepare to spend more money on a quality rig, with a proper winter package.

Some are better insulated and some have double glazed windows but that is about it.
