Re: A True “4” Season 5er
Working in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan I spent the last 3 winters in my Outdoors RV 2015 Blackstone Merlot. Average cost per month for electric (Dec thru March) was 370.00 cdn. and I went through 100 lbs propane ever 10 days. The trailer has a full skirt, I wrapped the bedroom closet slide in bubble wrap and use insulated pilllows in the fantastic fan wells (when not using the fan). It takes work to live in your RV through the winter. The upside is the comfort and convince that I have over staying in a hotel. 2 weeks ago I purhased a RedWood RV 3901 WB. thicker walls, more roof/floor insulation, so I am hoping this trailer will be manageable through the winter as well.555Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best All Year Four Seasons Full Time Fifth Wheels
I have spent the last 2 years living in my Outdoor RV Blackstone Merlot. Min temp was -37C, I had 3 consecutive weeks where the high was no warmer than -25C and low was cold as -34. This year was bad. I would use about 160# of propane every 3 weeks, the built in electric fireplace ran full time and I used a smaller electric heater during the day and when it was really cold during the night. Problems: all the slids are cold, closets and any cupboard that are left closed is brrr cold. The bedroom slide closet has ice build up all the time, my clothes freeze to the wall. The living room slide isn't too bad, but I get ice build up around the kitchen nook. I build up on the windows and twice the water froze - have to get the interior temp up to 80F to get the water flowing - easy fix. Can it be comfortable? Sure, but it does take work and you have to pay attention. Super important, vent, vent and vent to keep the humidity down. Lots of BS post in this thread, it would be great if posters could just post relevant 4 season trailer information.20KViews0likes0Comments
