RVing in the winter

[Cmccain13]

Hey all, so I'm a month in to living in my RV and loving it, the thing is I want to start roaming around out of Texas and I'm nervous about colder temperatures. There are a few places I want to go to but the temperatures will get into the high 20's during the night but get back up to the 45's ish during the day. When occupying the rig should I be worries about pipe freezes and stuff? what should I keep in mind? or should I even be concerned since it wont always be sub zero temps?

Seems to me that one would use a fair amount of propane in such weather and would need to find somewhere to refill the tanks.

If you are going to be using the rig and keeping the heat on, upper 20's is usually not an issue. (If you have exposed black/gray pipes, you might drain before a cold night but no much else to worry about).

You still want to plan for colder weather. While it may be unusual, we got caught out in -5F in southern New Mexico one year for 4 days straight when the average was supposed to be what you are looking at. We were going thru a 30lb tank of propane per day just to keep the rig in the mid 50's and the RV park stopped selling to people not staying in the park because they were worried about running out.

In my limited experience with several motorhomes, upper 20F temps overnight hasn't been a show stopper, as long as things warm up during the day. So, you could probably not winterize under the situations you describe. If there was a more extended period of sub freezing temps for more than a day or two, without a daytime thaw, I would probably start winterizing, but it's a personal decision.
Or, try to seek warmer climes.
