Winter RVing in Southern B.C.

We have winter-camped for the past 3yrs but in Mass, not B.C. I've travelled to southern BC, and I believe winters there are much milder, though much more rain than we get here in New England.
You will find drafts/air leaks you never knew you had, but easy enough to deal with. Electric heaters vs. furnace is always an interesting question, and it depends on the cost of propane and elect where you're staying. The parks we've wintered in both delivered propane to the site, and provided a 100lb tank. Elec was metered. We used a combination of heat sources, and I think running the furnace for an hour or two each morning and evening helps keep the humidity down in the coach. We'd run the electrics overnight, where we enjoy a cool bedroom anyway. You'll want to keep an eye out for Mickey and Minnie...I put bait in my belly pans and used 2 low wattage electric "buzzers" (rodent repellers). No idea if they're effective, but we never had a problem doing that.
You'll need to find a way to deal with water. Both parks we've used had 1 or more faucets that were available for jugs, etc.

AND...we absolutely love winter camping ;) Every friday/sat night, us and the others that stayed there would gather around someone's campfire, and have a great time. Usually someone would have an outdoor TV for sports on Sundays, and it's just been a lot of fun meeting new people :)

Hazlmere rv park is very close to the 176 st truck crossing,fort Langley is very nice,both parks have monthly rates

WE spent part of last winter in White Rock, then left for CA. Never too cold but rainy. We had bought a catalytic heater for warmth to avoid furnace noise but found it generated much moisture despite good ventilation. There was no good complaining. We're both Scots so know what to expect on a west coast. WE can recommend the rv campground at the truck crossing, not cheap but well run.

Much like the rest of the region, snow and sub-freezing weather is not common. But a few nights below freezing are a certainty. Snow is usually not a big issue, but in rare occurrences it can be.
Under the worst conditions there will be moisture in the air and a cold wind will come down the Fraser and the Whiterock/Surrey area can get hammered. But this not only doesn't happen every winter, it's year between happening.
Usually any snow will melt the same day, or maybe the next.

We live in Delta, and we try and leave the lower mainland in the winter to try and get some sun. As you must know it rains ALOT!. Very few sunny days. I grew up in Manitoba where it can get down to -40 and after 20 years in BC I still say it feels colder here. Just doesn't last as long. Where are you going to be staying? Are you sure this is what you want to do?
