Cold Weather Creeping in. Keep those RVs ready!

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!
