What to Pack to RV in the Snow

• RVing in the snow means pack warm clothes. But, make sure you bring extra clothing layers, gloves, and hats.
• Pack extra snacks and water.
• Shovel: you never know when a shovel will come in handy! A shovel will help dig you out if you get stuck. Also, you can dig yourself a nice flat area to park.
• Boardgames and movies: if it’s too cold to go out and play, bring fun family activities to keep you entertained.
• Snowshoes, ski’s, camera, and whatever winter activity gear you require for this adventure.

 General Tips to RVing in the Snow

• When parking your RV in the snow, place wooden blocks under the stabilizing jack to keep them from freezing and sticking.
• Keep an eye on the propane tanks. Running out could lead to a chilly night.
• Keep your gas tank full. This will prevent ice from forming in the gas tank. Also, it will give you peace of mind if you do hit a detour or need to take another route.
• Watch for black ice, if you do slide, try to avoid the brakes and keep the RV pointed straight.

Tips to keep the RV Warm and Cozy!

• Keep the snow shovelled off the roof.
• Park in the sun, and naturally heat the RV. This will melt the snow off the roof and brighten your day of course!
• Park the RV with protection from the wind, if this isn’t possible park the RV so the wind is hitting the front of the RV rather than the sides.
• With our insulated RV’s and weatherproofing to -30C, running the furnace will keep everything warm. Including, water pipes and hoses.

Skip the crowds and cut the cost with a winter RV trip. Enjoy serene winter landscapes, your favourite ski resorts, and quiet snowy mornings. Remember these tips and have a great adventure with your RV in the snow.
