Minor adjustments and you won’t be fighting the weather so much or yourself.

When it’s cold…. Don’t leave your hose hooked up. Make sure you put some extra water in the tank and then drain the hose. Also, and I can’t believe I have to state this but, put you filtration system up as well. The last thing you want is ice issues first thing the morning.

Make sure your compartments are all closed up. It baffles me how often storage doors are left wide open. When it’s cold, the cold is creeping in. When it’s hot, the heat is creeping in. This should not be a hard thing to comprehend but every day, doors are left open. You are seriously just fighting yourself. You aren’t going to stress the heater too much, it’s just going to run (on your propane if you don’t care) but the AC, you are stressing it to no end.

You can easily put up reflective insulation wrap over the windows (picture on the product page). This helps keep in heat or keep the heat out depending on the season. You would be surprised how much difference it can make. Command sticky holds it in place pretty good too. Don’t hesitate to get ceiling plugs for the skylights as well.

We carry a couple of tarps with us for the rainy days. Now if the wind is blowing, yes you need to put up the awning. On those days though when it’s just rain, no nasty storm… I hang tarps on at least part of the awning to keep us dry and outside relaxing.

I keep a pair of water shoes in the camper as well. We have had on a few occasions where there has been so much rain and we are parked on grass that any other shoe would be soaked. Water shoes, I throw on and do what I need to do. During a trip it’s not really a big deal but on pick up day around camp on a rainy day parked on soggy grass with puddles everywhere and you will see what I mean. World of difference.

On the tip side…If weather is coming and you are leaving tomorrow, pick up what you can. Make life easier for the morning. If you are not using it, get it up.
