RV camping could be a great option if you’re planning your next winter vacation. Many campgrounds stay open throughout the winter months as more people use their RVs year-round. However, it’s always advisable to check with the campground you plan to stay at to find out what amenities will be available during your stay.
To ensure you’re fully prepared for your winter adventure, Moto Nation has created a comprehensive winter RV checklist that you can use as a guide.
RV Preparation:
– Antifreeze: Ensure you have enough antifreeze in your RV to prevent your pipes from freezing during winter.
– Heated Water Hose: A heated water hose is an essential tool for RV camping in cold temperatures as it prevents the water from freezing.
– RV Skirt: A skirt around your RV will help keep the cold air out, keeping your RV warmer and more comfortable.
– Extra Propane Tank: You’ll need more propane than usual to keep your RV warm during winter, so having an extra propane tank on hand is essential.
– Thermal Curtains: Keeping the warm air inside your RV while keeping the cold air out is essential during RV Camping. Thermal curtains will help keep the temperatures consistent in your RV.

– Portable Dehumidifier: A portable dehumidifier will help prevent moisture buildup in your RV during winter.
Kitchen Items:
