Saint George, Utah is known for its warm and sunny weather, but the past few weeks have been unusually cold, with temperatures dropping well below freezing. This unexpected weather can be challenging, especially for those who live in RVs and other recreational vehicles. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips for keeping your RV in top shape during the cold weather.

1. Keep Your Water Lines from Freezing: One of the most important things to do during cold weather is to prevent your water lines from freezing. To do this, you can wrap your pipes with insulation or heat tape. You can also open your cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around your pipes, or use a small space heater to keep the temperature in your RV above freezing. Also, use a heated hose to keep incoming water warm to prevent freexing.
   
2. Keep Your Propane Tank Full: During cold weather, your RV's furnace will be working overtime to keep your unit warm. This means you'll be using more propane than usual. Make sure your propane tank is full, and consider purchasing a second tank so you don't run out of propane in the middle of the night.
   
3. Seal Your RV's Windows and Doors: Cold air can seep through even the smallest cracks around your RV's windows and doors, causing your furnace to work harder than necessary. To prevent this, use weatherstripping or foam insulation to seal any gaps around your windows and doors.
   
4. Use Skirting Around Your RV: Skirting is an insulated barrier that goes around the base of your RV, providing an extra layer of protection against the cold. This will help to keep the temperature inside your RV more consistent and prevent cold air from entering through the bottom of your unit.
   
5. Be Careful with Space Heaters: While space heaters can be a great way to keep your RV warm, they can also be a fire hazard if not used properly. Make sure to keep your space heater away from any flammable materials, and turn it off when you leave your RV or go to sleep.
   

In conclusion, the unusually cold weather in Saint George can be challenging for those living in RVs, but with a few simple tips, you can keep your unit in top shape and stay warm and comfortable throughout the winter months. Stay warm and happy camping!

As the temperatures start to drop and the snow begins to fall, many people may think that the great outdoors is off-limits.

Due to the high amount of precipitation we have received this year, the river is flowing with a lot of water, making it a mesmerizing sight to see. Whether you are hiking, bird watching, or just taking in the scenic views, the Virgin River is a must-see during a winter trip to Zion.
Another great aspect of winter in Zion is the abundance of wildlife. As the snow starts to fall, many of the animals in the park become more active, making it easier to spot them. Whether it's deer, big-horned sheep, or a variety of birds, there is no shortage of wildlife to observe.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a unique and unforgettable winter experience, Zion National Park is the place to be. With a scenic drive, plenty of wildlife, and the flowing Virgin River, there is no shortage of adventure to be had.

Southern Utah is becoming an exceedingly popular destination for casual travelers and enthusiasts alike. We have seen massive growth in the recreational areas near us and we want to share some tips for you to beat the crowds this Labor Day or any other crowded weekend. Zion National Park and Springdale become excessively busy on holiday weekends. You can expect large crowds showing up early, making lines and parking a headache. If you are looking to skip the lines and cool down in the process, Southern Zion is a great alternative. Turning left from SR-9 in Virgin onto Kolob Terrace Rd. will put you on a path towards Kolob Reservoir. If you take this road to the reservoir, you climb a couple thousand feet in elevation bringing you to much cooler temperatures, which can be a huge relief during the summer. Along this route you will find stunning sites, significantly less traffic, hiking trails, and cooler weather making it a perfect alternative to the main part of the park.
