Winter Vacationing in BC? Questions from a beginner.
Hi all! This is my first post and I'm going off the deep end.
This may be a long post/question.
I do not yet own an RV but plan on buying one in the next two years. I am no stranger to them as my job requires travelling and a vast majority of my coworkers own trailers that they live in for 9 months out of the year at the least and have spent a lot of time living in and around them. We only travel during the summer in North America (Just the US and Canada).
I plan on buying a fifth wheel toy hauler. I'll need the garage for company equipment and my own toys. I've been looking at a K-Z- Inferno 3722T. (If anyone has any comments/reviews on this company please feel free to post!)
When I buy I will be able to buy new. And I plan on having a custom trailer built based off of the above floor plan. The months while I am working won't be a problem. What I am really asking about is for recommendations about spending a few weeks during the winter in British Columbia snowboarding. This will also entail driving from southern Ontario out west during said season.
I know enough that being able to insulate the trailer as much as possible and dual pane windows are a must for heat retention. And that a lot of attention has to be paid to the water systems and holding tanks to prevent freezing.
So I guess the question here is: What, if possible, should I ask for to help make a trailer as winter friendly as possible when building new, and I guess I have a bit of cart blanche... but do have to keep in mind the limitations of the manufacturer. What are the experiences of other winter warriors? What did you guys have to do to make your house trailers winter friendly?
Thanks for the help in advance! Lindsay
