2023 is going to be an epic year with one heck of an RV travel route. We'll be doing many KYD Insider meet-ups along the way. Come out and say hello! keepyourdaydream.com/insiders or we'll catch you on the upcoming Livestream 👍

ℹ️ About the Episode:
Thanks for your feedback on last week's episode. Sometimes our favorite episodes are the least viewed and the stuff we think you'll love falls flat! We've learned that when we're away from the RV for a bit, we have much more to share when we return. Everything seems fresh and new! We tackled winter camping again this year for two main reasons. The first was the Ski Challenge with Joel & Tyler, which we did to help raise money for Care Camps and to have fun. The second was to update our winter camping video and share some tips for weekend winter trips vs. staying the entire winter in your RV, which requires a lot more planning. In this video, we share winter camping tips on the following topics: Propane management, essential gear, sewer hose, freshwater, and winter driving/towing.

Oh man, I'm with you on "never doing that again". We did a winter trip to Santa Fe, NM for Christmas a few years ago when one of those "polar vortex" storms came down from the north the day before leaving there. It snowed 8" and dipped into the single digits the night before we checked out. I ended up with the poop-sickle sewer hose, frozen water hose, and realizing that all of the snow and ice that had accumulated on top of our slide-out toppers wouldn't let me close the slides until I first climbed on the roof and pushed it off all 3 slides using a newly broken broom. I had to crawl on my hands and knees to keep from falling off the roof! That's when I said it, never going in the snowy winter again! lol

@bryaninnc5511 Год назад

Mark, I think this is the most entertaining and realistic video on winter camping that I've seen. Cold temps are fine, but it's a whole new ballgame when you add snow and ice. And, Trish, I agree, mentioning a dish dad cooks well will most definitely get him to cook it for you 🙂

Here’s a hint from my dad to did 36 years in the US military. He it his winter location device. Wire a snow shovel to the front of your car, then drive south until somebody asks you what the hell that is wired to the front of your car. When you get that question you know you have gone far enough south that it is probably safe to stay and avoid the snow from winter camping. See you in Florida :-)

@mistressofspeed Год назад

We spent weekends skiing when I was growing up and boondocked for every one of those weekends. We had 2 40lb propane tanks on our trailer. Everyone had a below zero sleeping bag and their own blanket to use. Fresh water tank was inside the trailer under the sofa and we only ever had the lines going to the bathroom freeze. we used 2x6x5 to 5.5 boards for leveling and some 6x6x some chunks of wood for the front jack because you could kick it when frozen to the ground and not have it crack.

@ronalddenton5362 Год назад

After watching Marc and Trish’ s video of several years ago winter camping in Colorado, we will be spending our fourth year at Tiger Run in Colorado for 4 weeks. But I admit you have got to enjoy shoveling snow and winter in general. We’re in our mid 70’s and still do some skiing too.

@Live2Journey Год назад

Watching this has affirmed our beliefs on Winter Camping. We spent our first winter in NC and only have several days below freezing, but even that was enough to make it annoying, especially with the curved window above our heads dripping on us every morning it dropped below 40 degrees! Luckily we were able to make it less miserable using the tips you mentioned in your last video! Thanks again! 😄

@Marilynlovesebiking Год назад

I live in Pennsylvania. I get enough cold weather and snow without going camping in it. But I like learning about all things you told us. I hope you get the fresh water tank issue fixed. Maybe a stone or chunk of ice made a hole in it while traveling. Those ice chunks are incredibly hard.

Thank you for the fun winter season trip. We travel on ski trips in our 30 ft Airstream and have returned to leaking tank twice.

Wish you well with your fresh water issue. Pleasant travels.

@michaelpuchel4109 Год назад

Great video. After just camping in freezing weather myself, here are couple more tips. Buy a heat gun. You can use that to melt frozen hose connectors if you forget to disconnect overnight. Plus you can use it to heat frozen waste valves. This one just happened to me. Of course pouring hot water on things helps too. Second is to replace plastic waste valve handles with metal ones. I broke plastic ones on a bed previous cold weather trip.

@ericconnaty7476 Год назад

When we camped in Williams AZ over New Years we used two electric heaters in order to save on propane. We put a small one in the RV basement just to keep the pipes from freezing and one inside the rig. Doing this really helped keep our use of propane to a minimum. Also for safety both were turned off and unplugged when we left the RV. Not sure you could do this when dry camping unless you have a big battery bank. We were hooked up to shore power so it wasn't a big deal.

@baitguru9197 Год назад

Looks like you need some 12 volt heating pads attached to the bottom of your black and gray tanks to keep them from freezing ( only need to keep the tank a 36 or 37 degrees to keep freezing), and you can use Double Reflective Insulation, in conjunction with durable metal duct tape to wrap your black and gray tanks ( covering over the 12 volt tank heating pads) so you will have a more "electric approach" from keeping your RV from freezing, and rely less on your propane when you are plugged in. This is what my little motorhome has, and it works well.

Been there - done that!! Lake Tahoe, Dec 2008, 24 in of snow in 24 hrs. Snow covered the entire steps. Our Golden Retriever looked as us as if to say, you go out in the snow and take care of your business too!! Had to buy propane on Christmas Day ($$$$). Sent the kids on the roof to sweep off the slides. Numerous other trips to Santa Fe, Taos and Pagosa Springs, all that ended well, but not without memorable (read, let's not do that again) experiences. Marc didn't mention this, but one thing we experienced on a couple of occasions was the black/grey tank knife valve freezing in the closed position. We rigged up an electric heater to blow into the sewer connection to solve that issue. Great video with so many good tips!!

Big props to Trish for driving in that winter weather. 👍🏻 Marc. You probably have the fresh tank fixed by now but if not check this. There is a short piece of hose that goes between the fresh water tank and the fresh water drain valve. I could definitely see this freezing and breaking. My AS had a small access door in the aluminum underbelly so you can get to it. From what I understand some AS’s don’t have this cutout. I hope this helps and you get lucky with a cheap fix.

I agree the YoLink is great. Not only are they good to monitor room temperature, I have one in the freezer and another in the refrigerator. Plus they make units that detect water leaks. I have those located under the shower and kitchen sink. I also use them at my house so when we are on an extended trip, I can monitor my home refrigerator, freezer and water leaks. The app is very well designed to make it easy to separate the RV and house units.

@drewcwsj Год назад

We winter camped in our Lance and the biggest challenge was the waste valve froze. Not a problem as we were only camping for four days. Also we ran the heat in the trailer while towing. Hopefully no tank damage but I won't know until the spring and I can inspect everything. Probably not the last trip but will definitely insulate the waste valve if we go again. Oh and bring a shovel.

@hammer48ful Год назад

For those that don't have black and gray water heaters I'd put some RV antifreeze in the tanks to keep them from freezing. Our fresh water tanks are under the seats in the kitchen area. I'd put a vent into the tank from the side of the seat to get some heat into tank. Good video. Personally I stay home and work on the camper getting it ready for the next season.

@BuellXB12SDucati1198 Год назад

I live in my Lance truck camper full-time. Winter months are different from summertime, for sure. I use a dehumidifier next to my bed and two ceramic heaters that I placed so they don't interfere with my furnace thermostat. That way, my holding tanks are heated properly. I fill my fresh water on days that are a bit warmer unless I don't have a choice. Definitely keep the roof clear of snow, especially the vents and solor panels. I also have extra propane tanks. Other than that, not much else is needed. I don't use a heated hose. I simply fill my fresh water tank then drain my hose, and put it away. While traveling, I do run my furnace and fridge on propane. I never drive on snow-covered roads. I prefer to wait until the roads are cleaned up. Don't be in a hurry.

@DonD532 Год назад

For the few times we’ve camped in cold weather we found having an electric blanket was a big plus. It saved on the propane! We love your channel and had to stop at the RV Hall of Fame last year and check out “your” Blue Bird. That made the HOF all the more enjoyable ❤

@DavidLaFerney Год назад

That also wouldn’t influence the room thermostat and prevent it from guarding the plumbing against freezing. Good idea.

@TonyYarusso Год назад

One option to keep in mind is that while RV RU-vidrs are constantly talking about the struggles with heating plumbing systems, you don’t necessarily have to do that at all. If you can camp somewhere with a basic pit toilet available (or are willing to deal with even more rustic means) and don’t need to shower in the RV, you can just leave the RV plumbing completely winterized, and use jugs of water kept inside the rig for drinking, cooking, and some touch-up washcloth bathing. It might not be great for full-timing, but for the short-term camper it’s much, MUCH less hassle that allows worry- and stress-free camping down to very cold temperatures where pipes would definitely freeze.

The Mopeka Tank sensors are AMAZING. I have the previous generation (not quite rectangular, but not round). 100% agree that the inside sensor is pretty much useless, but it is a nice quick reference if you don't have your phone handy. I like that the system can be configured for different tank sizes, and you can set when you want the system to alert you (on your phone) when you're getting low. Also, the option to "label" the tanks makes it easy to differentiate between the driver and passenger side tanks. I had my furnace "die" a few years ago in late November, and I cannot stress the need for spares of things like sail sensors, thermostat switches, and even controller boards which can go out with no notice. In my case it was just a loose connection on the sail switch. Also, I've found that with travel, sometimes the hoses that send air through the belly of our rig sometimes would vibrate off of the furnace body. I used actual foil duct tape to seal up the furnace body to make it more efficient, and prevent the ducts from coming loose and dropping. Keeping spares on hand for furnace, fridge, and other systems when considering the low price for doing so can make emergency repairs a lot less stressful.

6 degrees in CO vs. 86 degrees in Fl Keys … Marc it’s a no brainer. Jack Frost bites hard !

I like warm but the snow looks so good

There is one hiccup with the ultrasonic propane tank level sensors. They are powered by coin cell batteries. As we all know, performance of batteries degrades with extremes of temperature, and once you get down to a bit below zero they no longer have enough juice to work reliably. For above zero temps they’re great, but if you’re dealing with stuff in the -15, -20, and beyond kind of range, be prepared for intermittent/inconsistent function. I haven’t tried this yet, but I think I may get some of those adhesive foot warmers made to stick to your sock and stick them around the sensor for those kinds of trips.

Definitely our most challenging drive day ever was getting up to Breck in Jan of last year. Icy roads and 80 mph wind gusts 💨 Had to spend the night in FairPlay about 30 minutes from Breck. Stayed connected so the rig wouldn’t blow over and definitely thought the windows were going to get blown out. Tough day for sure but it was a learning experience 😆 Great advice as always y’all!

I was wondering when y’all would come to your senses 😳 I live in northern Minnesota and it was -25 this morning, the high was -4 …..winter living is hard, camping is a NO !!! My biggest and best tip for winter activities is a HOTEL !!! Be safe out there and I hope all is well with the family stuff ! Blessings

Marc at 21:23 you discuss the fresh water tank leak. You may already know this but temperature swings in conjunction with big elevation swings will cause a tank to siphon all its water out through the overflow valve. Might try looking to confirm if the tank valve is truly broken before discounting the mention above.

I hope you're right. We leave next week and we'll find out.

@VegasGuy1975 Год назад

@@KeepYourDaydream I sure would like to be right on this one too. We both know what fun it is if I’m not.

As a medical traveler in an Rv, sometimes we don’t have a choice. All those tips you gave, we are using plus a heated water hose. Great video! I wish I could go to Florida but I’m contractually obligated to stay in Colorado through April.
