Tips for Surviving The Brutal Winter Months in an RV in North Dakota

Many workers from other states living or trying to live in North Dakota in the brutal winter season are finding it difficult to make a go of it. I read in the local newspaper that some workers are finding these sub below temperatures too rough in a RV or camper. Many are packing up, throwing in the towel and like the geese, moving south.

Can you blame them, even in this weather poop will freeze. I decided to conduct a little research to come up with a list of suggestion that can make living in an RV or camper a bit more tolerable in the frozen tundra of North Dakota.

According to the Chedderyeti.com, here are the suggestions they have if your traveling around in what can become a frozen aluminum popsicle. Here is what they suggest to start off with;

• RV Tank Antifreeze
• Foam insulation for the fresh water hose
• An extra ceramic 110 heater
• Tire Covers
• Tarps for the AC units

Other items that come in handy can be extra blankets and find ways to block the cold wind from coming into the camper or RV from those area's you may not thing about like the foot well, around the steering wheel and the roof vents. Those are also areas where the heat will escape. REMEMBER, heat rises!

If your only housing is an aluminum can during the winter months of North Dakota, it can be done, but it's important to plan and pre-plan to make life livable and safe! If your lively hood is working in the oil patch in North Dakota in the winter, it takes proper planning to make it happen.

What are some of the things and tricks you use to keep your house warm during the winter?
