First time winter camping

We have camped in the winter "on the grid" and the only challenge was water and that was not really a challenge at all. We were plugged into shore power so we could run an electric space heater or the RV's propane furnace and stay nice and warm. Drinking water was bottled water - we just filled bottles from home and then refilled as needed at the campground restroom. A Brita water pitcher is good if you have concerns and want filtered water. Washing was done in a basin and hot water was heated on the stove or in the microwave. The basin was dumped out each morning at the campground restroom. We bought toilet waste bags in the camping department at Walmart - sold in most camping stores - that are made to go into a potty but fit right into our RV toilet held in place by the seat. These are made to gel any liquids that go into them and deodorize anything else. After use these zip closed and have a double bag that completely seals them and they are legal to dispose in any garbage dumpster. They hold a lot and one bag was fine for the two of us each night for late night nature calls. We use the campground restroom during the day - or the restrooms at wherever we are during the day, and use these bags at night when we don't want to go outside and take a cold walk to the facilities. It all works out fine and is easy. Our RV stays winterized and we have no problems at all.

You sound a lot like the article we just posted. Lol. Except we mentioned using a porta potty instead.

We've been guilty before this past winter/spring time that we couldn't camp beyond fall. We were kind of forced to try it and realized that we could pretty much as you say at an rv park with decent bath houses.
