Heartland Big Horn Fifth Wheel Trailers

It matters where you plan on wintering and how handy you are at rigging a fifth wheel up for winter use. Without taking proper precautions water will freeze no mater what kind of RV you have. Some campgrounds have heated water spigots and all you have to do is heat and insulate your end of the hose and run a heater behind the wall in the front compartment to keep the lines from freezing. I use pink insulation board that fits the windows tightly and the pull down blinds help hold it in place. I had to rework the duct work on my unit to even out the heat. It had too much heat in the front and not enough in the back. I ran a new duct behind the kitchen cabinets to the rear living room and shut off some of the ducting to the front bedroom. Be careful when shutting off ducts that you don't back too much heat into the plenum. If you want to live where it is really cold you might have to close or skirt the trailer. Let the water drip when it is really cold and have a hair dryer and portable heater handy just in case the water lines freeze. Had a time or two where the water wouldn't run until noon. The coldest we camped was about 5 above. We have seen people pack up and head further south in Florida if they forecast is for 30 degrees. That is why they have wheels.
