    Starting diesel Sprinter campervan in sub-zero temps

    It was -10F overnight, it's still below 0F when we wanted to start, but cranking the engine was not going well. Super-cold weather is rare for us, so we don't have a block heater or other modifications, although we have learned to buy diesel locally to get the winter formulation, and...

    Is the Retro Brave, Good in Winter?

    I’m in love with the 2015 and 2016 Brave retro series. However, my family and I only camp during the winter in mountains at various ski resorts. I’m currently loving my ‘05 Mini Winnie but need some more space as my kids get older. Are the retro Braves good in winter? Thanks

    We live in NW FL. We get periods of cold weather but it doesn’t usually last long. Not too many times below 32, and usually just for a few hours. What should we do for winterizing? We have it under a carport and plugged in to shore power. Thank you

    Outdoor connection winterizing

    I winterize by blowing air through lines. Last year I forgot this outdoor connection and the remaining water in it froze and cracked the connection causing a leak.

    Hi everyone, can anyone advise on what is needed to winter over in our RV (8264BHS) or would it be better to just winterize it and close it up for the winter. My daughter uses it as her art studio until her studio is finished being renovated. THANKS
