Greetings all.
I am considering moving into an RV for full time living. I am a single guy with no children to be concerned about and am now looking at a BT Cruiser style RV, still undecided on weather I want an RV model with sliders or not due to leakage issues.
anyways, I live in western Canada and spend about 7 months a year in colder below freezing temperatures; its' pretty rare in my area for temps to fall below -20c.
What I want to know is how 'full timers' live in their RVs during the freezing winter months, and how they avoid freezing pipes and other winter issues while living.
I also want to know how well insulated RVs are built, and any other information that anyone can offer.
thanks all. :)
Call some RV sales places and ask them what rig would be suitable for full timing in winter in Canada,,
I honestly dont know any..although I would guess some class A buses would easily be able to do so,,you would just need to run generator pretty much continuously..
Some people stay in campgrounds even in winter and plug into its utilities,but then its probably cheaper and more comfortable to just rent an appartment or a motel..

Eventualy when I retire I plan to build a true four season Canada rated RV to travel in,,insulated like a house..so I can go anywhere anytime..
