Alright guys that travel for work.... Im a boilermaker and I'm sick of hotels, I'm looking at campers now. My biggest concern with getting into a camper is the cold weather. Anyone that's got a polar package? Wondering how well those really are in say single digit temps?
They do very well. Dont go cheap and you will be alright! I spent my first winter in one and it wasnt too bad. Note* I am in VA so it only got that cold a handful of times. *
Lots of single digit and below zero temps up here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The biggest problems you are going to encounter is the humidity problem in the trailer and trust me, the furnace not only eats propane, it hardly ever shuts off. 2004 Triumph trailer, heated tanks and underbelly.
Is the humidity created from running the propane furnace? Does anybody have a furnace that also runs off of electric so when campers plugged in propane isn't being used?
I lived in WY for a yr in a trailer. The trailer I had came with heated/insulated underbelly. Even know I was in the extreme temps I had to put a skirt around it. For just weekend camping or a few weeks you'll be fine.
I spent 2 New Hampshire winters in a 27 ft travel trailer when working on a power plant job as a fitter.As someone above mentioned, my furnace rarely shut off.
Look at Northwood RV's (northwoodmfg.com) Arctic Fox.
Available in Truck Camper, Travel Trailer, and 5th Wheel.
Skirting will help any trailer.
Ceramic heaters save on propane.
