A few things us Northerners know about is if you let your water drip during the night it has a constant water flow through your pipes and they shouldn't freeze . Another thing we have is electric heat tapes for water pipes . Wrap around pipes and plug in and pipes stay warm . Another thing that helps are foam pipe wraps . Its like a pool noodle but a smaller diameter with a long slit . Wraps around a run of pipe for insulation . Good luck !

An Olympic wav catalytic heater is really great for heat (needs no electric and is 90% propane efficient). An entertaining video.👍

I’ll give a couple of quick tips, first it sometimes helps to leave cabinet doors inside the rv open so warmth can spread to those areas, second, if it’s real cold, (I’ve stayed down to -14) I use one of those pvc supports (the one that looks like a pvc pipe cut in half lengthwise) for the sewer hose and I run a piece of heat tape in the bottom and around all exposed piping and then put some sort of insulation around it.

Now I understand why people install skirting, tank heating pads, put electric heaters under their rigs, wrap every exposed pipe in heated blankets, and have 1 or 2 one hundred pound propane tanks sitting next to their rigs. Dang, can black water freeze? That would suck if your black tank was full and frozen and everyone had to take a dump! That’s one of the many reasons I like to follow you guys.

Get a can of silicone spray, open the doors on the vehicles and spray the gaskets and door frames, then wipe the excess off. On the seals it's better to spray a rag and wipe the seals. That keeps them from freezing. Also pull the door handles and hold them in the open position and spray the pivots and linkages. For the water and drains, electric heat tapes can make a big difference,

Hit up a farm store or hardware store for a 12' heat tape and aluminum ducting tape. Wrap the heat tape around your drain valves and up the gray and black drain pipes into the underbelly then wrap it in tape. Leave the plug loose enough you can connect it with a short extension cord. It'll thaw and free your drain valves in under and hour. Works like magic in Idaho.

To help keep the cold from the windows and still have light, I tape bubble wrap over my windows. Tape bottom, and sides but leave top open so sun heat and moisture can escape. To help doors from freezing shut spray the gaskets around door with silicon spray. Have spray bottle full of rubbing alcohol to melt ice. I use it to remove ice from my windows and outside of door. When I was a child in Michigan we kept things from freezing with utility lights. This does not work with LED light bulbs. if forecast to be cold take extra measures.

We didn't skirt because we weren't planning on staying long, heading south after Christmas. Our weather temperature went down to -13f and our fresh water tank froze. Yeah, you can make all the best plans and something will still go wrong.

With the outdoor water supply faucet the water shuts off below ground level. When the water’s shut off it drains the pipe to below ground level because the ground retains heat. By leaving it on with little or no flow it keeps water at the top of the faucet which it’s not designed for. The only way to maintain flow without freezing is to open the hot faucet to maintain flow for the outside. It’ll cause the water heater to run but it helps with preventing the gray water tank from freezing. Drain the black water but after closing it leave open the gray water so it flows and keeps the pipes from freezing at the drain valve. If you can find a second cover with a pass through hose coupling you can attach the now black water hose to it and run it into the ground drain. Make sure it doesn’t have a low spot because it’ll freeze. I’d spray paint the ends of the small hose brown or black so you don’t confuse it with potable hoses. Depending on the temperature you may need the heat tape and foam pipe covers as well. When it comes to opening frozen doors warm bottles of alcohol with the snap cap helps a lot. Generally they freeze shut at the same level as the door latches since the latch pulls it tightest to the body at the weather stripping. Often plastic pry tools can help pry out without bending door panels. It can take longer but running the engine heater is the most sure of everything. Plug in your diesel engine heater since you were close to it not starting. If you have an auto start feature leave the heat and the blower near high before shutting it off for the night. Generally the most likely door you can open is the driver door since it’s used most often. If you experience frozen doors spray silicone or something else that prevents water from collecting. Get an infrared temperature gauge so you can spot cold areas and get a propane torch so it can quickly heat frozen areas. By heating quickly the whole volume of ice doesn’t have a chance to expand and crack the faucet as well as some plastic pipes. You’ll notice when heat is applied you’ll see either water vapor or frost building up on the surface being heated. As soon as the vapor and frost disappears you need to move down the run so it doesn’t heat unevenly. If it smokes remove the heat and travel back and forth. Once you get a small amount of flow it’ll melt on its own. Such is the experiences of cold weather. It gets easier as you go along. Safe travels!🙏❤️

Winter camping isn’t that hard if you put a bit of thinking into it. There’s things you can do which make it uneventful. Unexpected winter events can create a challenging situation short term no doubt, however. Thanks for the video of your experience!
