Great information. I don't usually get in that cold temps however never know when we may get in wild storm in our travels. I saw another RVer say never sleep with any heat on. I would have wanted to sleep with RV furnace on in cold temps - not after your video information. Also never knew real cold temps could affect the batteries in carbon dioxide detector. Also did not know that a propane detector is installed Low to floor. And my home furnace is propane.. My new RV has a detector at floor level below 2 way fridge. Your videos are so helpful. Thanks

[@dalepowell6815]

Your videos are not at all boring. This was a very informative public service announcement. Stay safe in the coming year and years ahead.... thank you from warm Florida... 25 Below Brrrrrrr

[@cetifoxproductions]

I watched a number of KZbinrs who emphasized proper ventilation just to reduce the likelihood of moisture accumulation. Our 6x10 trailer didn't have factory vents, so I installed two 3" vents--one at the lower right rear side and one at the upper front left side. This allows for modest flow without being "breezy". Of course, we also have a MaxxAir fan and I installed two porthole windows on both sides. Last, but not least, we installed a carbon monoxide alarm.

[@gonagain]

Good to play safe like that.

Luv your channel, found you thru Camo Dave. He followed a huge variety of channels. Miss him. 😔

[@mmkiehn]

Many RV'ers fail to recognize the potential hazards of CO (carbon monoxide) and the fumes from raw fuels emitted from heaters, even those factory installed, so your emphasis on their lethal nature cannot be overstated. I purchased a couple low wattage infrared heaters which my Bluetti AC200 handle during our boondocking excursions; thereby eliminating the need to run the propane heater in our travel trailer. I'll give you an A+ on this one.

[@gonagain]

Thanks Michael, Happy New Year!

[@imperialrving4435]

Thanks a lot, now my wife is so scared she’s going to die that she won’t go camping, lol But seriously, good information, surprising how many people don’t have enough common sense, and end up dying. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year with many new subscribers!

[@danlux4954]

People need carbon monoxide detectors even with no flame source in the trailer.

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

I was at a rally where people were boondocking. My neighbor set his generator on my side with the exhaust pointing at my RV. How inconsiderate! My RV filled with fumes immediately! If I had been napping, I would have died. I went over and pointed out his mistake and he reluctantly move his generator to the front pointing toward the parking for tow vehicles.

[@gonagain]

Some folks can be very inconsiderate.

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

At Nascar races, they make the RV's have a long exhaust pipe going up from the generator to the top since everyone is so close to each other.

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

Been testing our Dickinson wood stove in the backyard. Getting the tuning right, adjusting the window, damper, trying different woods and installed a CO/smoke detector. So far so good. Think im ready for winter camping.

[@jimb5113]

When outside temps are cold is a good time to think about carbon monoxide sensors, and smoke detectors and testing for good batteries. Poison in the air can kill anytime of the year regardless of outside temps, but when temps are coldest we seem to forget about fresh air and want to protect hot air by sealing leaks. Thanks for this warnings. They are good year round.

[@gonagain]

Exactly! Thanks, Jim.

Chinese diesel heater is the best option as long as your exhaust is extended to the outside. I have 2 of them in my 30 footer, one on the front and one in the rear and we have slept comfortable in the low 30s with both on in medium and we haven’t die.

[@gregoutdoors7]

Can’t believe it’s that cold, man, if it gets to 20 degrees here in Kentucky we’re like Arctic air is here, lol. I’m in my cargo camper now with my “Buddy” heater on at times to knock off chill. I have camper sit up near the river behind my house. I’m thankful my property borders the river. In fact just watched a big Blue Heron fishing on opposite bank. I have a thought about ventilation safety. My two windows raise vertically and though they are newer they will close by themselves if only a few inches open. Vibrations in the camper like walking or even wind gusts will cause them to drop shut. If that should happen during a time when i am heating and I don’t notice it, it could cause some carbon monoxide danger. (I don’t heat if I’m asleep as a precaution.)So, I always raise windows to proper height and place an object in window sill to stop windows from closing should they try. Good safety talk rick, just wanted to add another possibility with the window. It’s about 48 degrees here. Have a great day 👍🏻😎

[@gonagain]

Thanks for sharing that possibility, Greg. That could happen to anyone, we should all check our windows.

[@jeffpoplin558]

So much excellent advice in only 15 minutes. Thank you. Sure hope the newbie RVer's take heed. Well done.

[@borandell9915]

This is a very timely reminder for us all. My son works in the oilfields of New Mexico often living in an RV, year-round. Indeed, it is very important to do frequent checks and monitoring of your propane and generator systems. Especially ventilation. But I think your best tip in this video is to try not to sleep with the heating system on if possible. Much safer and I actually sleep better with good blankets. Thanks Rick.

[@gonagain]

You're welcome, Bo. Lots of good blankets is a good idea.

[@galardmills5306]

Timely! This is a cold and snowy winter, and your refresher was a good reminder. I came close; woke up with a SPLITTING headache.

You might not believe this, but it's warmer for us when the temps drop below about 15F because the air is so much drier at those temperatures. The house seems warmer because the humidity is less. I grew up in the Seattle area and it's miserable there at 40F!

[@jkbrochu3003]

All sage advice for sure...It never hurts to rerun it. I watched a Greg Ovens video for surviving a cold night in a stuck, out of gas car. He heated rocks in a fire and placed them on the floor on an insulator. It worked great! So, while camping one cold night I tried placing the stones from my fire on a cookie sheet in my oven with it open. I didn't heat the stones long enough, but it did work. I want to try soapstone next time and heated longer. It sure was a nice dry heat, no condensation, very quiet, and free! We always carry a very warm blanket for those nasty nights. Some folks think if the camper is warm, they can camp.... but don't consider the water pipes will freeze along with containers brought along! Keep your stick on the ice!

[@jwagnermail]

The problem with heating rocks in a fire is that the water that is in most rocks will make some of them explode. You need to find rocks that are dry - which is difficult.

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

@jkbrochu Thanks, too, for the Red Green reference! We miss him so much!! ~ Kir (and Ron, who says, "I'm a man; I can change. If I have to. I guess.")

[@gonagain]

I used to experience exploding rocks as a kid along Moses Lake, WA. These were apparently dry and not from the lake shore, but for some reason those rocks were really prone to that and would sure get your attention.

[@gonagain]

That's right about not using your RV during freezing temperatures. On my last trailers I had heaters that I installed on the tanks themselves, but you needed to be plugged in to use them and they did nothing to keep the pipes from freezing either. We just learned to use the trailer without the luxury of running water.

[@jkbrochu3003]

Agreed you need to be careful choosing the rocks. And not heating them to glowing red! This is one of the reasons I want soapstone. I once worked for a company making soapstone stoves. We had one when I was younger, and it was the best woodstove and radiated heat long after the fire was out.

Great video and timely with the cold settling in. My father and I came close in 1964. There wasn't a lot of info passed around back then about camping and heaters and we were using a Coleman catalytic heater in the camper on my dad's truck. In the middle of the night, dad woke up and said he thought we were sufficating. We were. We had headaches all day.

[@gonagain]

You and your dad were so lucky! I remember those catalytic heaters and used one in my VW bus but didn't leave it on when I slept, having had a worry wort for a mother who warned me about it. How about this: I personally know of a pilot and two crew members who were sitting in a plane full of cargo and almost suffocated from the dry ice (CO2) in the shipment they were hauling. They were talking and started falling asleep when one of them realized what was happening and opened the door.

[@sasquatch885]

Good information! Several years ago we were at an RV park in our truck camper with a window open. The class A next to us was running his onboard generator. The exhaust set off our carbon monoxide detector.😬

Appreciate your video.

[@jonkirkwood469]

The first instrument I put in my trailer was a CO detector. My CO detector has warnings about batteries and cold. I've two factory vents, which I stuffed with copper wool (a commenter's tip on your video about the Bernoulli effect). The first hole I put in it was a vent fan. Then, four windows. Pretty soon, I was cutting holes with wild abandon. Then, learning how to seal leaks from cutting holes with wild abandon. I'll probably use the same propane heater you use, as soon as cut another hole and figure out how to safely mount a 20-pound bottle. I have no plans to use a portable generator. They're anathema to peace. It's good that you pointed-out combustion requires oxygen and oxygen comes from the envelope in which it is enclosed. People can forget that. Unvented heaters, such as the Mr. Heater won't backdraft, but they do consume the oxygen in a room. I love the sound walking on snow makes when it's well below zero. Thanks for recording that. One, it means I'm visiting Wyoming; two, it means I can leave it.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Great information! One of the biggest mistakes people make with their diesel heaters is not running the exhaust out the side somewhere, like car exhaust. When installing their heater, go down to your local or big box store and get a four-way metal conduit electric gang box. Making a passway for the exhaust and air beside a square is easy to cut. Seal with 3M fire barrier sealant caulk, the box, and you should be in great shape. Wherever they decide to mount the diesel heater, use the Shaka [ 6 in ] to get the correct airflow distance on the intake side. This is very important; it will keep your Diesel heater from getting too hot and shutting down on you. When priming the fuel line, just before connecting it to the heater, and the easiest way of doing it, but a little messy, is to place your finger at the end of the line. It forces the air to come along with the fuel; once it is there, make the final connection. There are all kinds of ways of doing it, but if you have a Multi vac or priming pump is good too. Make you use a hard nylon line 2mm x 4mm; if it is a short run, then most of the lines you can use with no problem, like the green, blue, or soft white lines. If you have any other questions, I can help. I have installed many diesel heaters and have given many new diesel heaters to people who have needed them. John McK 47 youtube channel is an excellent resource for Diesel heaters. He is the Guru for diesel heaters.

[@gonagain]

Thank you very much! I subscribed to John's channel and will reference it before we install my daughter's heater. I'll use your recommendations.

Great advice Rick, the bit that was new to me was installing lithium batteries in the CO detector(s) in my similar converted cargo trailer. I run one that is permanently installed and another portable unit and run a similar propane heater as yours. My heater is old, but it burns nice and blue. You'll literally struggle to be "too careful" with CO safety, you only get to die once!

[@amythinks]

I have been looking for a video like this for awhile. Then I check in with your channel randomly, because your channel is awesome and I wanted to see what you were up to...and what do you know? Here is the video I've been looking for! I do have a few questions though 1). You said an electrical heater could kill you...how...unless you're powering it with a generator that you've place unsafely....2). How do you not sleep with the heat on in freezing temperatures? What's the safest heating solution? I would have thought electrical.

[@gonagain]

Hello Amy, you got it right when you mentioned the generator, because that's what I was referring to. A lot of folks in the western states regularly camp where they don't have hookups and rely on generators. We sleep with enough blankets, or a good sleeping bag, to avoid using heat at night and it's fine until it gets below about 20F at night, then we carefully use the heater, making sure our ventilation isn't blocked in any way. If you're plugged in, then electric heat is the best and safest. If you need heat while boondocking then I prefer my vented propane heater, but that's mainly because it doesn't use any electricity and there's no smell like you get with diesel heaters. Whatever heat source you use, just make sure it's installed properly to avoid fumes from the exhaust and that you have a couple of windows open slightly.

[@DazzlingDanaOfficial]

Sleeping bags made for extreme cold, hot water bottle, high wool content blankets, toboggan/beanie, hot beverage before sleeping.... a combination of little things can really improve confort.

Funny enough, my campervan and fold up caravan are what I'd call over ventilated. I've never tried to seal anything off because I don't get damp/condensation issues like many others that I know of that do. Also knowing that breathing fresh air is a Good idea and my heaters are powerful enough to compensate. I do risk sleeping with my heater on from time to time though but with preparedness and caution in mind, mostly common sense. I've lived with glass fronted coal fires in my house for many years, lit 24/7 during the winter and grew up with coal fires...I do think that helps with the common sense side of things. Accidents happen which of course is sad, hypothermia kills many folk too each year unfortunately. Good show Rick, I'm going to subscribe now, enjoyed quite a few of your videos so it's only fair 🙂👍

Thank you for subscribing! When my girls were young we lived on a boat that had a coal cooking and heating stove. It was great and of course it was vented. Not sure my neighbors enjoyed the smoke, but the heat was nice.

@@gonagain A Coal stove on a boat works real good...get the coal way down low for good ballast or to the windward side while on those long straight voyages 👍 But hey Rick, you know all this 😂😆🙂
