This October, Mike and I went to Montana to visit his family
and he warned me in advance, that we would have snow while there, but it would
melt. When we downsized and loaded up
the camper Mike made sure that we were prepared for any kind of
weather condition, IE: a winter coat, boots, thermals, rain coat and rain boots, etc. Good thing he did, as we did have snow as
well as below zero temps for a few days.
When we were at Aunt Betty’s, our hot water tank line froze up overnight
when it got to single digits, but thawed out with the warm-up of the day. We have a fireplace under the TV in the
living area and we have a free standing temp control electric heater in the
bedroom. Running those with our propane
furnace we were able to keep toasty warm, along with additional clothes and thick
blankets. Mike puts reflectix in the
windows to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. When it did get below zero all the water
lines froze so Mike thawed them out with my hair dryer and then blew out the
lines to semi winterize the rig until the temperatures were finally above
zero. We were blessed to be staying at
my mother-in-law’s to use her shower and cook in her house as needed.
NOTE: We were using the fresh water tank, both at Aunt
Betty’s and my mother-in-law’s, so we didn’t need a heated hose.
Where in Montana did you stay?
