Can I RV During The Winter?

by Joe Thompson
(Minnesota)


I know it is a lot of fun to RV during the Summer Time, but is it also possible to go RV Camping during the Winter Time?




ANSWER:

Greetings Joe,

Let me first congratulate you for being the first person to ask a question, on our new Ask RV Questions page. I barely got this page up and you came right up with the first question.

Yes, you can go RVing during the winter. Now seeing that you live in Minnesota and it is December, it may not be advisable for you to go camping in an RV there. But, in other parts of the country such as Florida, Arizona, California, etc. people RV all year round.

In fact there are 1000s of folks that come down from Canada to stay in the warmer winter climate states. These folks are known as "Snowbirds".

There are also lots of Full Time RVers that live in and enjoy their RVs 365 days of years. They are known as Full-Timers, they no longer own a stick home and happily live the RV Lifestyle year round.


So, yes Joe it can be done.

Let me take a moment to appeal to our readers, if any of you can enlighten Joe on how you RV in Winter, leave a comment with your tips, tricks, places you stay etc. After all we don't want to leave Joe out in the cold (sorry I couldn't resist).

Now, if any of you reading this would like to be the second person to ask a question, just go to the Ask RV Questions page and ask away.

Happy RVing

RVing is alive and great during the winter
by: Gary James

Hi Joe,

I am here to tell you that you can RV 365 days a year if you are in the right part of the country.

My wife and I are fulltimers, we sold our house 5 years ago after I retired and we have been RVing ever since. Trust me when I say we have no regrets.

Right now, we are camping in Tucson, Arizona. It got up into the 70s today and was beautiful. It does get a bit chilly at night, but our motorhome has a great heater, and we stay toasty at night.

Our next stop is Quartzsite, Arizona. That's where the worlds largest RV Rally takes place every January. We will be there with 1000s of other RVers starting on January 17th. We never miss this rally.

So if you have that many RVers in one place in the middle of winter, that only confirms that RVing is not just a summer sport.

I have never been to Minnesota this time of year, but I am sure that is a lot colder than Arizona.

Hope this helps in answering your question. I am sure there are a lot more RVers that can tell you how they RV in the winter. Have a Happy New Year
