freezing temps & slides & tailgater

We've done some winter camping in snow country. As other posters have mentioned operating the slides shouldn't be a problem. Bigger issue will be heat loss and continually running the furnace especially at night. Make sure you top off your propane tank beforehand. You'll probably use most of a tank in a week especially if you're running the furnace a lot. Keeping slides in does help contain the heat inside the rig. At night, to help retain the heat inside the rig pull down your window shades and maybe put up one of those aluminum foil type sun screens in your front windshield area. Finally, if you are going to hook up a water hose to the rig, I would recommend turning off the water and draining the outside hose each night. Otherwise the water in the hose may freeze at night making the hose unusable the next morning. You can just use your on board water tank at night if you need it. The residual heat coming out from inside the rig is usually enough to keep your basement storage tanks from freezing. Good luck.
