Has anybody done any winter camping? I don't know about Art but inside where its warm and the rain is pounding down sounds romantic to me!

I do a lot of winter camping. In Tennessee about half the time the pod needs to be winterized, so no water, so no showers. Unless it's below zero you can still use the toilet, flushing with antifreeze. For everything else bottled water works just fine. And we're usually in a campground with restrooms too.
The pod is small and tight enough that it takes almost nothing to keep it toasty inside. TT |

We have an annual campout in central PA in January. Usually gets down to 10 F. Heated bathroom takes care of most needs, I take along a jug of RV antifreeze for midnight runs to the pod bathroom. I keep several gallons of water inside and it stays winterized. As Tars said, it stays toasty inside with a small cube heater.

I'm still a newbie and trying to learn all the tricks to this Podding adventure. So with that said I have a question about flushing during winter camping while the Pod is winterized. When I flush while winterized, won't that release the pressure in the water lines and cause a void or does it matter? Hope this is not too dumb of a question.
Thanks, Mike R. |

No question is dumb. Pressure isn't an issue in the water system, just having flushed the system with antifreeze is important. You can winterize, then open a valve to release the pressure and you are fine. You could even open the low point drains and drain out the antifreeze and you would be fine. The key is just getting the water out.

It doesn't get cold enough here to winterize our trailer. But wet? Oh yeah! So far, no leaks.
