Hi everyone,
I started a thread over in the 5th wheel forum but wanted to kinda merge over here as this "Winter RV Camping" thread has had a lot of tips and answers I've been looking for.
To sum up my situation, my wife and I are buying our first trailer and planning to go full-time with our 2 little kiddos. My biggest point of stress is winter living. Our winters will include significant time in Colorado and Utah, particularly here: http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/heber-city/utah/united-states/usut0335
My Plan: Get a Jayco Eagle 325BHQS. I understand all the new Jayco Eagle's have the "Jayco Climate Shield" (http://www.jayco.com/tools/videos/?v=0025), so that'll help in the winter. I also plan to do some serious outfitting with Ultra Heat tank and pipe warmers. At the campground, I'll plug in to electricity, and connect to water and sewer only to fill/dump tanks. I'll also work on getting a propane service so my furnace is well fueled, and a generator in case the power goes out at the campground. Maybe an extra electric space heater or two, warm blankets and a bottle of whiskey for those particularly frigid nights.
So - how's my plan? What am I forgetting?
