Best Truck Campers for Winter Camping

Bigfoot 3000 series and several model Citations were the very best winter campers ever made

My Arctic Fox is really good when the slide is closed. If used with the slide open I could feel a draft. This is at 15deg.

It makes a difference where you will be using it in the winter. Winter in Southern California or winter in Minnesota.

My 2004 Fleetwood (manufacturer is out of business) was top of the line camper and it is "design" for winter.
I do have heating ducts going down to holding tanks area to prevent freezing.
Basement, attic, bells and phone wiring.
But even I camp on snow only once with it, I notice lot of heat escape.
Since I had to do some frame repairs, I sealed "cold" electrical cord compartment from dumping cold air inside, I sealed hot air "outlets" around sewer pipes, I put some foam insulation on furnace cover, where just warmed air was hitting cold steel with no insulation.
So getting a camper that has some designs for cold weather is one story, making it really working in cold weather is up to the owner.
No manufacturer will send a crew with caulking guns to seal the hole new buyers newer dare to check.

Bigfoot has the thickest insulation out of the two fiberglass clamshell campers and both have no slide outs. I understand a slide out leaks a little bit of cold air. Yes and both have heated tanks.

I had a Citation 10.8 w a slide. I was a ski patroller at Crater Lake. I've had 3 ft of snow on the roof and temps down to -12*F with water and a shower every day. It was a great camper. It has a basement, where I put my skis in a long drawer.

We've been very satisfied with our Bigfoot. The coldest temperature we have b3n in with was 9 degrees in Williams Arizona one January. The TC had water in the tanks and was not winterized since we were using it to travel from Reno, NV to Oklahoma. We did watch the temps closely in case we needed to stop and drain the tanks and winterize it during the trip. The tanks are heated and we had no problems.

For winter use I recommend one without a slide.

That's pretty funny TxGearhead. :)

I think most are pretty good for Winter and Summer, but none are perfect. See the recent threads on Winterizing for more details.

I swear by Bigfoot. Works great in these frigid Houston winters.
