Good thing it wasn’t a real blizzard or you may have had an entirely different experience. We have about your same setup with a ford f350 and an older lace. We added a low watt roof heater/air conditioner that we can run on a small generator because we got caught in a blizzard in Montana and couldn’t move for a week, the propane and wet heat and below zero temps wasn’t ideal. One gallon of fuel heats our camper for 15 hours of nice dry heat, no frozen windows. Love our Lance. We also have chains for the truck now. That blizzard taught us some valuable lessons in winter camper camping. We ended up digging out with a medal plate and a serving spoon, one of our sons “used the shovel” and didn’t put it back. It was an adventure of slip and sliding with nerve wracking stress! Lol

Buy 4 V-Bar chains, 30’ 30k tow strap, a Little buddy propane heater and save your camper batteries and propane. Buy a quick jump starter and carry a 3000w generator, gas and a pancake air compressor. You have to be totally self sufficient and can’t rely on anyone but yourselves. And carry bear spray when you are in bear country, especially when you go for a walk. Looks like you had a nice adventure. Enjoy it!

Great job and video! Can you guys buy another propane tank and have it filled up as a spare? You could just set it inside your camper while you are traveling. Amazon sells a plastic base that the tank can temporarily sit in so it doesn't fall over when traveling. I use mine when I detach my propane tanks from the trailer and drive to the fill up place. Just a thought for emergencies...and maybe a few dehydrated backpacking meals for backup too. 😉 Keep up the awesome videos!!

CONGRATULATIONS...you survived AND learned alot about cold weather / snow camping!! And, perhaps without realizing it, you learned alot about each other. You both seem to get along and I sense that continues "OFF CAMERA" as well! We camped in the same size Lance you have for many years and as we watched your video, we discussed what would would have done differently regarding staying warm!! Using your furnance will definately keep your rig warm, but based upon our experiences, and perhaps yours, it REALLY uses up your LP.. Here's a couple hints to consider re: getting more from your LP supply: 1. leave the oven pilot lite on, with the door open 2. find a clay pot, the size commonly used for house plants, and place it ocer one of your cooktop burners and lite the burner. IT will get very, VERY hot but it will radiate heat for many hours as it cools down. OBVIOUSLY, this can be a dangerous heat source and should be used with care nad only will you are awake. 3. in the morning, use the heat from preparing your tea, food, etc. to heat the inside. Consider getting a roll of "reflective insulation" (Home Depot) cut it to fit all windows and then pull your shades down. That will not only keep some cold out, but in the summertime, it'll keep the inside of you rig much cooler on very hot days. That's it for now....Keep Exploring and Having Fun!!

You need to run all terrain tires and airing your tires down in mud, snow or sand will increase traction. Add an air compressor to your gear to air up once to safety....a winch can save your life.

A good tow strap and a come-along will do the same job as a winch. Slower, more work but probably way less than 1/4 the price with no installation.

I was afraid you guys would be stranded for days and your heat would run out. I don't think - no I KNOW that I would not have found my way out of the campground until Spring because everything looked the same. Snow and trees everywhere. Well, I have a feeling from this point forward you will be more prepared but this wasn't you guys' fault. It was just a freak heavy snowstorm. It was exciting to watch though and that's why I said best video yet.

Just found your channel and really enjoyed your video! Glad you guys made it out of their, my wife and I have been stuck in some pretty crazy snow before too so I understand the feeling! Looks like there are a bunch of suggestions already in the comments, but adding in my 2 cents for what its worth (hope it is helpful!). I would recommend always having redundancy for all of the major life supporting systems when camping in the cold (even if no snow is forecast) - i.e., more propane than you think you need for heat and cooking, extra food, extra warm layers, etc. I'm sure you are already planning to, but you should add some recovery gear to your kit like maxtrax, chains, a tow and snatch strap, and a few soft shackles. These can come in handy in any recovery situation, not just snow (think mud, sand, loose dirt). I would also recommend getting some good AT tires that are 3 peak mountain snowflake rated and have a fairly aggressive tread. (I like falken wildpeak at3w for full size trucks instead of KO2's, they last a bit longer.) You sacrifice wear speed for more traction, but if you are living in your camper, traction would win it for me every day to make sure I can always have traction getting in and out of campsites no matter what state I am in. Although it does little for ice, airing down your tires is always more helpful than not when traction is an issue. you can go down to 12-15 PSI and still be safe off road and increase your traction coefficient substantially, even in snow (ice is another story, but airing down can't hurt). Adding some sort of air pump to your kit to fill your tires back up would also be good incase you opted to air down because you wouldn't want to drive very fast on a main road with your tires so low. Hope you find some part of that helpful! Good luck to you on your future travels! Edit: I almost forgot! Keep a snow and dirt shovel on hand! I can't tell you the amount of times I have been stuck without a shovel when I desperately needed one! They make cheap compact snow and dirt shovels that can easily be stored under the truck seat or mounted on the exterior.

we were in CO around the same time with our truck camper! Y'all, what type of tires are you running?? We have the same truck and these rigs typically power through this type of snow! Also I love the part when you were like "i don't enjoy this one bit" and your bf is stoked 🤣 that's me and my bf when we are in a sketchy situation

We’ve seen your content on instagram and love it! Thanks for checking us out, we spend a ton of time in Colorado and can’t seem to get enough of it! We have the stock Firestone tires on right now but I think we’re switching to Nitto Exo Grapplers, they’re made for heavy duty trucks and say they’re supposed to be awesome in the snow/ice. It’ll definitely help next time we find ourselves in a sketchy situation!

ahh no way! thank you!! yes Colorado is magical, we will be passing through in December and January. We actually just got new tires in September and they perform pretty bad. But before were on the Duratracs last winter and loved them. I don't think you can go wrong with the Nitto Exo Grapplers@@LivingLargeCamping

Of course, we love following along! And that’ll be gorgeous, hopefully you can figure out a better set of tires before then. If we end up in the area we’ll shoot you a message!

Wow guys I’m so happy you guys worked together to get out of their i live in Colorado and what you experience could turn your adventure into a nightmare I think people sometimes believe a truck with big tires should get out of every situation but as you can see it’s not necessarily true it’s definitely a learning experience and it brings confidence in what I need to prepare for even when the weather calls for something different learning is growing and growing is maturity praying for wisdom and confidence in your next adventure God bless and take care❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I used to keep a portable compressor with me so I could air down the tires so it would bite more. Glad you made it out

Didn’t think to air the tires down, I’ll keep it in mind for next time!

Oh my.....that was so crazy that I had to fast forward ahead to see if you had to stay longer. Hmmm...I bet you wish you could have fast forwarded to find out what happened lol. Be safe....that was exciting. Of course, I live south of Central Texas so I never see snow.

Loved the video. You two learned a little here it appears. I could read the stress and the elation in both of you. The happy ending kiss brought a smile to me. Be careful and keep producing videos of your travels. Barkley looks like he really enjoys the snow too!🇺🇸🦅🌴🌴🌴

Just a tip for similar situations with poor traction. When you put it in 4 wheel, it helps to turn off the traction control button.

once it stops snowing, if there is any question, you can go out and walk the roadway and toss fir bows down to make your course you will drive. Then once you get the truck going you can keep going non-stop
