We want you to enjoy your motorhome in the winter- time and stay safe and warm, so we are bringing you “How you winterize your motorhome- Part 2”. This post will look at a few more ways to prepare your motor coach for winter.

Windows:

Consider adding additional insulation through one of the following methods: foam insulation boards, bubble insulation or solar blankets. To provide even more warmth you could line your windows with heavy weight thermal curtains. See pictures below for examples:

Pipes, Battery, Plumbing: 

Some of the most important machinery in your RV can also become some of the most vulnerable during the wintertime: the pipes, battery, and plumbing. An RV skirt can be an essential help for winter camping in cold temperatures for an extended amount of time. An RV skirt provides wind protection, insulation, tire protection and undercarriage protection making it a wise investment. See image below for example: 

Slides: 

Another thing to consider is how ice and snow can accumulate on slide out awnings, preventing the awnings from sliding properly when it’s time to go. A simple and easy way to prevent the buildup is to clean snow, ice and frost off the awnings.
