4-season truck camper and anti-freeze

Hello!

I am new to truck campers and RVs. In my search for a 4-season truck camper, I came across a truck camper owner (Kodiak 1995) who said that his truck camper was 4 seasons. When I asked if there was a heated basement, he said that I would need to keep RV anti-freeze in the grey and black tanks and that I would need to keep running the heater to make sure that the fresh water tank doesn't freeze.

Do you have any advice? Is this normal? Is this really a 4-season camper? Will it survive winter in Saskatchewan?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Any camper you buy will have the ability to freeze and burst water lines if you don't heat it. Just like a house does. If you are not going to run the furnace you will need to use antifreeze in the lines.

    A four season camper means it can be used, if used properly, in the winter. Using it properly means running the furnace to keep water lines from freezing. Using the onboard water tank since leaving a hose hooked up outside in freezing weather will not work. Among other things you will have to learn if you intend to camp in the winter.
