    Using my fifth wheel as a winter home in snow country

    Wrap insulated tarps or something like that, around the bottom of the trailer like a skirt. Then place an electric heater down there to keep the water lines from freezing. It would also keep the floor warm too! To clean snow off the roof I would use a good quality push broom to avoid damage.

    Fifth wheel suitable for cold climates and full time

    I don't think RV are suited for the cold. When I say cold I am talking below zero(celcius) all day every day.

    using a fifth wheeler in cold weather

    If I was to live in the RV during winter I would 'skirt' the trailer using insulated tarps and some 1x4's. Then hook up and electric space heater or two under the trailer to keep things from freezing.

    TT Cover for storage ?

    Pretty impressive Carl! Born and raised in the Yukon I am. We have wet snow coming down right now as a matter of fact. To be more clear a cover would be a standard tarpaulin. I checked Wal-Mart and they don't sell covers up here and ordering one would cost too much. My trailer is a small Jay...

    TT Cover for storage ?

    Our winters are rather harsh up here. The temperature will get to forty below at some point. My wife really is insisting we cover the RV with a tarp but I can't see the point. We don't get a ton of snow here but what we get stays all winter so it accumulates pretty good over the season(nov-may)...

    How did you get started camping?

    In the Canadian North camping is a way of life in some ways. My first memories of camping include the local Hot Springs with my cousins. I am now famous though the family because of a death defying horse back ride there as a 7/8 year old that draws tears of laughter when told. Another way we...

    How to verify level indicators are accurate?

    I have found that a level; 2 footer worked good for me, placed on the frame in any flat spot. Then I stuck some levels on the upper cabinets for now.

    Is my battery charged yet?

    This has me somewhat confuse Tom. When checking my 12v battery, I was getting reading into the 13's on the multimeter. I also just purchased a few 30 watt solar panels from Canadian Tire which came with a charge controller which has a cut of voltage of 14.2 I believe. Can you or anyone ched...

    Battery woes

    Maybe consider a solar charging station. I don't have much experience, but I did just buy a 30 watt sunforce panel at Canadian Tire. Granted I am getting around 20 hours of sunlight a day right now, it seems it will work well as a trickle charger over the winter. My plan is to just shut the...

    TT's with generators

    If somebody has to drop two thousand plus for a genset, I say why not help make the planet a little greener. Invest in some good solar technology. Then you fuel is free! Not to mention totally silent. I remeber a thread on here where I saw a nice setup where a TT was equipped with a rear cargo...

    keeping TT steady when parked

    I think you misunderstood me a little. The choke fits in between the wheels, not in front or behind them. One day I will take a picture when she's all set up.

    Top of the line travel trailers

    claiming that a tt will only last 10-15 years before it needs to be hauled to the dump is flat out wrong buddy. I understand you are proud of your investment. If I remember I will take a pictue of my Jayco in 15 years and show you :P There is plenty of old rigs up here and our temperatures can...
