P-Podding in cold weather

Probably not. You should winterize and carry bottled water for drinking and flush with antifreeze.

We have dry camped in cold weather but have had the same problems with some condensation on the walls, especially the lower parts that are closer to the floor, near the seat cushions and around the mattress.  This has happened in spite of trying different methods:  cracked 2 windows with fan on low, cracked 4 windows with fan on low.  Windows are open about 1/4".  Top half of walls and ceiling remain dry but not the lower half, and this is with temps around 30.  Burn through a fair amount of propane, we have 2 tanks as well.  Shovel (snow removal), axe (firewood), hatchet (kindling), and a good multipurpose knife are all the extras we bring.  We haven't gone in mid-winter as the threat of getting stranded/snowed in is a possibility in northern Michigan.

I would like to see a picture of how you mounted two propane tanks.  Thanks.

If needed, I can get info from r-pod, which is now in storage down the road. 2 containers with a splitting valve between, theoretically automatic switch to full tank when one is empty. You may want to talk to a local dealership.

Hi folks. BRAND new podder here.
We're planning a Thanksgiving trip in Western PA and temps are going to be in the 30's and 40's, though not predicted to go below freezing. The pod is already winterized (dealer did that before we purchased last week) and I'm wondering what is the best/easiest way to enjoy our first trip. If we play it safe and do not un-winterize it, we can use your tips here about flushing with antifreeze, bringing water, running the heater, cracking a window, etc. But could we use the kitchen sink for clean up, with the grey tank having some antifreeze already in it? Then at the end of the weekend after we dump both tanks can we simply pour antifreeze into the sink to winterize that portion of the system? And would we also then pour some more antifreeze into the toilet? Or should we just camp like we're in a really awesome tent, do all of our water stuff like we did pre-pod, and wait until Spring for the full-on experience?
I have to say, that of all the stuff I don't know, the winterizing part is what scares and confuses me most of all.
Thanks for your help!
