Camping in the Cold

 

I know there must be experienced Winter campers out there. What do you do to protect pipes from freezing and anything else I need to know.

 

Thanks

So with movement, won't that keep underneath warm enough.

Can you open the cabinet door that has the sink pipes and wrap those extra? I remember wrapping the pipes outside and keeping a small drip going while up in the mountains fo Colorado, this on a coach.

So, are we saying our Pods are not up to some Winter camping, I don't mean Nannock of the North kind of stuff and no snow.

I will look into some of the things you have recommended. Thanks

 

Your location in Maryland has you a bit colder than where I am, but my mountain location might even us up.  And as you know, some Winters are harsh like the last one up your way. If you have a normal one there might not be as much concern and since you would be heading South it Might get better. Now, having said this, it is only speculation.

BUT you have come to the right place, both this site and R.podNation has experienced people willing to help.

Like your 173, now that I have a Pod(and feel very lucky to have one at all) that looks like a good configration. Mine is the 171, great for 1 person and a dog, but the bed end gets pretty busy when you have to move out into the "hallway".  Have only taken it out once, just have had it less than 2 months.

And it IS frustrating that Forest River has not put out something that is just POD.

I bet there is enough experience out there with Podders to write a Pod of Dummies

Between now and January I am going to be digging for information, even if I have to call Forest River, to find out what needs to be done for Winter travel. I have just joined RVW, rving women, and they might have some information. If so, will pass it on. They are traveling in everything, but I would think what was done for an RV could be applied to our rig. Also, the Sisters on the Fly organization might have some information on the Southwest travel. THEY have everything you can imagine! Even one Pod that I have seen on their site pictures. So, those are places for us to start for experienced information.

AND BEWARE! People are curious about your Pod. And there are other Podders out there that come visiting if they hear you are camping! Love it.

Good luck, will be following your posts and answers in order to gather information myself.

              Kristin Griffin might be the one to ask our questions.

 

I have emailed RVingWomen AND Sisters on the Fly to see if I get some answers back also. Will let you know.

 

As you already see, there are answers coming in already.

 

And thank you all for those answers from your experience
