Pull under belly down, my water lines were run along the frame. I added more insulation and insulated lines.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That is a great tip! We have thought about adding some insulation in our underbelly! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

Great vid. See you soon! Thomyt Rubber Chicken Gang!

It was 12° this week in South Alabama as we ventured into our camper for the very first time! Needless to say we have learned so much about a camper in a week!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! That is cold for South Alabama. Shion is from Mississippi. Oh wow! What a way to have an introduction with your camper! What kind of camper do y'all have? Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@frankwise7049]

If you leave under-sink the cabinet door open, you should get some warm air movement to help thaw out those lines & pray they haven't busted.

[@lewisbale1]

Yep, we're from New Jersey and during the winter always left the cabinets in the bathroom/kitchen too keep the pipes warm. Let the faucets drip over night

[@frankwise7049]

@lewisbale1 Yep, many Midwest winters were bitterly cold. I remember, when I was a kid (1960s), one time it was so cold that for some reason, the heat tapes weren't sufficient. Dad connected his arc welder leads to the pipes. That did the trick. Of course, that wouldn't work on plastic pipes.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That is a good tip and we did leave those cabinet doors open! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@robertmungo5428]

Love all the cold weather tips! Really nice spot!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you! We really loved this spot too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@CampingTherapy]

We're getting single digits this week, and it's snowing. Lots of black ice, and wrecks. I'm staying home, safe and warm.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! That is cold! Stay safe! and warm Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

You made us cold-watching! Burr! 🥶 Very well done video & really informative for cold weather RV Camping! Our plan is just to stay where it's warm out 😂

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

It was really cold! 🥶 We see y'all gradually getting out of your comfort zone. We could see y'all doing some cold winter camping someday! 🤪Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@tinaellis5671]

I'm in total agreement with you... give me the cold weather over the 80s and 90s every time!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Yeah, 80s and 90s are no fun to boondock in! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@vickipendleton2864]

Glad u showed us what to do on the low point drain but right now we are winterized. We are planning a long trip this summer to Wyoming.Montana and Idaho. Can’t wait

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

You are welcome! It sounds like y'all have an amazing summer planned! We love all of those states! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@malone1todd]

The lines to that sink lay on the chloroplast. Really thin always freezes first. Where the lines come up under that sink come up in a vertical box, you can use you hair blower to direct warm air down the box and thaw it out.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing that tip with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@thewanderingshores]

You two are far braver than we are, those are some cold temps. Great recommendations on how to camp in the cold. PS what a great camping spot.

We have the same Champion Dual Fuel generator, but i have NEVER used "gasoline" only propane. I don't want to carry 2 EXPLOSIVES in the back of my truck. We also have 2 20lbs. propane cans for back up.

I don’t like heat at all so I never complain about the cold. HOWEVER, that may be too cold for me!! Love your videos…how you show us everything around you. Stay warm and safe!! Kathi

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We prefer colder weather over really hot weather too but single digits are really cold! ❄ Thanks for watching too! We really appreciate it! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@csmith9189]

Thanks for the lessons on boondocking in freezing weather! I think I will stay were it's warmer! Blessings in all your travels.

[@kevinherm3036]

Clutch Trucker talks about hauling potatoe chips...there's a specific route through the mountains that keeps them below the altitude that makes the bags go pop! It's a real thing.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That is interesting! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@jeffsteele1295]

[@gcslade]

I live in Utah and have gone hunting up near where you stayed. It's a beautiful area! Even in October it can get in the low teens at nights at that high altitude. I may have missed it, but the other issue with camping in such high elevation is keeping the furnace, stove, fridge lit and the generator struggles to operate properly due to such thin air. I had a buddy that smoked and he couldn't even get his lighter to work or cig lit. (adding another day or two on his life) 😀. Safe travels!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We love this area! We did not have any problems with the furnace or the stove. The generator worked great when we used it and our fridge is a 12V conversion, so it did well too. That is crazy about the lighter not working but now that you mentioned that, Matthew had trouble using the lighter to light our campfires and it was a brand new lighter too. We were baffled that it did not work! Glad your friend got a day or 2 added to his life! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@stevekoelsch6988]

Love that area. Duck creek is a neat place.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We do too! Such a beautiful area and the people are super nice too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@RV_Tips_Tricks_Travel]

Great videos guys. Cold here near Galveston, 21 degrees for lows next 2 nights. Getting freezing rain right now. Be safe.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you! Oh wow, that sounds cold! 🥶 We hope y'all stay warm and safe in Galveston! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Oh my goodness! Who would have thought that the chips would explode

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Right! We were totally surprised by that! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@perrywillingham9109]

That’s a little cold for me !😬😬 great video once again ! Stay safe !

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

It was very, very cold for us too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@bobconner422]

Boondocking just awesome !!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We agree! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

We try our best to avoid the cold, but it doesn't always work. So glad we are in Arizona now instead of Texas. 😂

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Right! We heard Texas was getting some really cold weather! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@frankwise7049]

You should have a dehumidifier to get some of that water out of the air so not so much freezes on the windows.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Another great tip! We have a dehumidifier and DampRid as well! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@gusmedina5205]

Now that's using your ingenuity with the water. The bag of chips 😮 now that's a first for me. Good luck y'all. God bless.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you! It was a first for us with bagged chips too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

Can you please show how you run the Starlink cord in the rig. Thanks for all your informative and entertaining videos.

Should do those mountains in the summer

This would be a great place to go in the summer to stay cool! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Ouch. So furnace was not able to keep the underbelly warm enough to keep the lines from freezing..

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Just that 1 section because it ran along the outside wall and our underbelly has no insulation but it kept the other water lines from freezing. We are thinking about adding insulation under there and see if that helps! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@larryk3986]

Why do you put the Starlink on the slide when you have all that open area on the ground? Great video.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We have had so many friends get their Starlink run over or the cord severed, so we wanted to be safe. We only put it on the ground when absolutely necessary! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@justtherightloadofcodswall6515]

Since you’re already using on board water, can you turn off your water pump and just open all faucets to get the water out of the lines but still run your furnace to keep the underbelly “warm”? 🤔

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Unfortunately, our water pump must remain on in case we need water at night. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@BRAS64076]

-13 with -35 windchill here in Nebraska tonight 🥶

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! That is extremely cold! 🥶Hope y'all bundle up and stay warm! ~ Shion and Matthew

I would trade you Temps. It was -42 Celsius here yesterday

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

OH NO! ZERO degrees! Say it isnt so! yesterday morning, with windchill, it was about -50C at our house. now THATS cold! but 2 yrs ago within about 6 months we went from -40c to plus 40c!! but really I would NOT stay where you are if its cold enough stuff fails and youre miserable; whats the point, scoot off that mtn and get your RV butts down to arizona and WARM UP!!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

It is definitely warmer in Arizona! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

The 2 things I've learned that altitude effects the most is bagged items like chips and icecream

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We have been discovering that about the bagged items, LOL 😂Have not experienced the ice cream yet! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
