Right, between heated tanks, recirculating water, pipes all inside the coach, etc we thought we would be fine, too. The lightbulb trick works like a charm! No problems at all the second night at almost the same temps. 👍 -Howard

Glad to see you overcame the setback and went on to a great adventure. Thank you for so beautifully showing what is a hidden gem at Canyonlands. I pulled a small trailer into a campsite a few miles before the visitors center and spent three relaxing and beautiful days and gorgeous nights. Now, I need to get back and see it in winter!

[@WA7HOI]

In our 11VK, there is a light up at the top of the compartment, out of sight, in the water bay. I didn’t even know it was there , for a year, until someone over on the FB group mentioned it. It’s the only light I left, as an incandescent, because it does a good job of keeping the temp in there above freezing. It’s 12 volt, and doesn’t really draw much juice, but does get quite warm. You might see if your model has one too.

[@NewstateNomads]

Marty, thanks for pointing that out! Unfortunately, our 19ND comes from the factory as an LED light, not even sure if it has a socket that we could swap for an incandescent. ☹️ I will check, though, because that is a really great idea! -Howard

Light bulb works if it is halogen or incandescent. You could also use a 12 volt space heater

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks so much for watching, great to hear you enjoyed it!

[@NewstateNomads]

Exactly, Dave. It's the heat! Haven't thought of a 12 volt heater, probably more efficient I would think (we have to run the inverter to power the light bulb). Now I'm wondering if we can find a small enough one to fit in the wet bay... -Howard

[@peacefulwife5199]

Loved this one. Those arches are indeed a natural beauty. Howard, when you inserted the clip about the big chunk of that arch falling off, for a minute until I realized it was a old clip, I thought it actually happened while you were there...then I had the DUH, moment. LOL You timed it just right. I appreciate the closed captioning on your video. I'm not sure if KZbin placed that there or you allowed it to be there. It's so helpful. My beloved is very close to needing hearing implant surgery. His hearing aides just don't get it loud enough. So our TV volume is on 18 -24 most of the time. I wear earplugs or I'd be deaf too...lol so I watch my videos with earbuds or ear plugs and love having the closed captioning. We have a Smart TV. It has closed captioning. But my man just refuses to use it. Been married 30 years, no changing him now...lol Katelyn your hair in the sunlight is so beautiful. I adore long hair, yours is stunning. Hope the pups are okay and getting along. Much love and Merry Christmas from Southeast Missouri. (The Bootheel) ❤🎄❤

In cold weather nights like that, use a household light bulb left on in your wet bay so the heat from the light bulb will keep the bay warm enough to keep the pipes thawed

Love it! and I was going to suggest a light bulb in that compartment! Have a year round koi pond here in the Midwest for 16 years now and every winter a simple 200 watt light with a styrofoam cover keeps a 12" opening in the pond even though the surrounding ice gets up to a foot thick with -20 degree temps!

[@scorpsquad6067]

Hello just saw your video. Mainly from the title. I wanted to give some advice to the situation as I used to live in North Dakota during the winter to as low as -20 without freezing pipes. I hope this doesn't sound too bad but just want to give advice. First winter package is up to the manufacture. Usually this is down to 0 degree C or 32 F but varies from manufacture. I also always see people using a shop light to heat up the wet bay. I wouldn't suggest that and instead go with heat tape. It can permanently be put in and shuts off if it's too warm with a thermostat that's included. Also 3M Indoor Window Insulator Kit helps a lot if you don't want to open the windows but want to see outside. Lastly, 2 more items can be used for help in living in the cold not really a temporary use but a permanent for me at least. 1 find a company to make a skirt for the RV this costs I think around $2k but I liked mine. Second, don't get slides and if you do add rigid foam insulation on the slides side walls. This will help. These mods really helped me live in North Dakota. Still not comfortable though and with power issues I moved back into an apartment. Thanks for the video.

[@NewstateNomads]

Wow, a LOT of great advice. Thank you! I haven't heard of using heat tape in that way, but definitely makes sense. Also, we tend to move pretty often. Do you think skirting is viable to pack up and move? Appreciate all the advice! -Howard

[@scorpsquad6067]

@@NewstateNomads I put skirting on for a permanent solution in case other viewers wanted to look into it. It's not however a temporary solution in my opinion. Skirting requires you to hammer stakes around the RV. It prevents the winds to lift it but is very time consuming (1 hour+ install.) When you pack it up, my 5th wheel 32' trailer skirting packs up to the size of a carry on luggage. I also want to look into a diesel heater if I ever want to get back on the open road. Also I never saw your channel until I just randomly saw Winter RV camping and was looking into seeing all that you had to go through. Most of my learning was try and error lol. Lastly, the heat tape I use is Frost King automatic heat cables. They worked without problems but I haven't tried other products as that's available at most home hardware stores. I'll look at more video's in the future. Also born and raised from Utah so thanks for showing me some home while I'm away from home.

[@NewstateNomads]

@@scorpsquad6067 thanks. We've never considered skirting for our 25' motorhome, but if we are going to stay in frigid weather like that again it sounds like just the ticket. Particularly good to know it packs up small. The heat tape option, would you still be wrapping pipes with it or somehow applying it along the surface of the wet bay? -Howard

[@scorpsquad6067]

@@NewstateNomads Personally I wrapped it arround to where one tape was loosly wrapped around all the pipes in the wet bay. I would do a couple of twists, move down to the next and do a couple twists again. My wet bay had around 10 different pipes to wrap in it and only a door kept it from the outside. My main thing for me was to heat up the whole bay but still had it wrapped near the pipes. It's not sticky so you can just wrap as many times as you like if you get it wrong. Very Easy.

[@williamcoffman7149]

Ive lived here in Utah for over 20 years and ive not gotten to visit these places yet...I will say thou that during the winter months, because of the high elevation there it does get pretty cold in the canyon and desert areas, even 20 degrees colder then it is up in northern utah....one place that would had been cool for you to visit was cove fort, utah, it's right along the very end of I-70 and I-15 connect together....there is a cool fort to check out there.plenty to see here and enjoy....

[@Chris_at_Home]

I don’t know what you have for power, but one of those small red colored heat pads glued to a wall in that bay with a thermostat set just about freezing.you can get a 50watt pad. They use these on oil pans in the Arctic.

[@NewstateNomads]

Chris, that sounds like a great idea! Bonus points if it runs on 12v DC, but we could also make A/C power work there if we had to. When you say heat pads, do you mean the silicone ones like another person commented? Do you have a link? -Howard

[@Chris_at_Home]

@@NewstateNomads Actually you can run them with any power source up to120v. I worked in communications in an Arctic climate and we used to run them on 24 or 48 v depending on the sites battery plant. We glued small ones on camera housings. A small aluminum plate behind it and a little bigger will help dissipate the heat. We used that red RTV sealant to attach them . They are red colored and come in many sizes they are a flexible pad with a heating wire imbedded in them. Any auto parts store in a cold climate would have them. phillipsandtemro.com/solutions/specialty/pad-heaters/

Agree about light bulb...that's what we do when we close up our "3 season" home.

[@RainyJo715]

Another trick to protect your pipes is to never park where your wet Bay Area is facing the North wind! Also, you could park your extra vehicle close to that side of the RV to block any extra wind and cold.:) 🥶 I live in South Dakota and it was 9 degrees here last night, as well. I know this was previously recorded, but we go way below freezing here, so we’re used to keeping pipes thawed, even in houses..lol God Bless!! 🙏🏼🌟

[@Thesaltymedic36]

Brrrrr 🥶 yeah that’s a cold night. Light bulbs work 👍🏼 Those parks look amazing. Was all of your camping there on public land for free?? It’s hard for anything to not freeze in those temps, Kansas should be warmer. Looks like the crowds were light at the parks, probably due to the weather but that’s a good thing 👍🏼

[@NewstateNomads]

100% free! We loved the location, super close to Moab, and closer to the southern entrance of Canyonlands. 👍 Definitely lighter crowds, which also helped with social distancing, too! -Howard

We read about that, Robert! This is obviously a very different time to visit anywhere, but hopefully we can come back to explore the park again soon. Thanks for watching! -Howard

[@flyingdutchman7585]

My Northern Lite Truck Camper is 4 season and it has a heat vent that goes to the wet bay just to prevent the type of problem you had. Of course it is built in Canada..so they know true 4 season. I think a lot of campers are labeled as such but are actually not rated to be in extended cold temps. Northern Lite or Big Foot campers...true winter campers.

[@NewstateNomads]

That's a great point about the heat vent. It's interesting because our specific floorplan doesn't have a similar vent like the other View/Navions and I'm not sure why exactly. Would have made a difference in truly cold weather. However, Canadians definitely know a thing or two about cold weather! 👍🇨🇦 -Howard

[@louishibbs5133]

Nothing broke..insulation plus a small lite or a little HVAC reroute to the cold bay..

[@NewstateNomads]

Louis, that's what we did! Thankfully, no damage, and as we mentioned besides the wet bay all other plumbing is inside the coach. The little light works like a charm! Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Rigney Fam! Great question... the best was definitely seeing the snow. So if it was just freezing cold without something pretty to look out, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much! The most challenging was definitely keeping it a comfortable temperature inside. Once we figured out the light bulb trick, that solved the wet bay problem. Since we were boondocking, we ran our generator off and on to blast the heat inside. Let us know if you end up camping somewhere in NY this winter! That sounds adventurous! -Katelyn

[@thomasjackson8214]

Turn off the water pump and open all the faucets before going to bed. That will drain enough water out of the lines to keep them from freezing.

[@NewstateNomads]

Mark, you're right to check, we filmed this episode in late October. Just checking the forecast, they are showing lows at night in the high teens, so if there's any precip already on the ground you might have icy conditions. I would THINK that the area would be used to this weather, so they likely take good care of the roads. However, we've definitely never visited in January so can't say from personal experience I'm afraid. -Howard
