Camping in sub-zero temperatures can be an exhilarating experience for the adventurous type, but it can also quickly become a challenging experience. Waking up to a fresh blanket of fluffy white snow shimmering in the winter sunlight is quite nice after a good night sleep, but waking up with frozen feet and no water can easily put a damper on the experience. Although some RV Trailers include a specialized winter package to help keep the cold outside and the heat inside, most RV’s don’t have this additional luxury. Fall is here, and before you know it, winter will be too; but with the right RV, it is possible to keep the RVing going into some of the colder months. So, if you are adventurous and you’re looking to be able to keep the RV going year-round, check out this list of six of the best winter campers for sale today. We do however recommend doing your own research on things you can do to make your winter camping ‘warmer’ as no RV will be totally 100% winter-proof. If you plan on using your RV on weekends only, things like winterizing your RV’s water system and bringing your drinking water with you every weekend will surely be something you will probably need to do.
