Winter season in Alberta is akin to living the life of frozen meat in a fridge for five months. An ideal way to spend the winter months in the province is to travel to mountain resorts and go skiing. However, there are times when all the hotels are fully booked. In addition, some adventurous travelers prefer camping beside their RVs in Edmonton for a truly awesome outdoor experience during winter. Thus, it is just apt that you weatherproof your RV for the coming winter months, as your survival will wholly depend on that old, reliable van. What should you do to make sure you come out of winter alive with all fingers and toes intact? The usual routine when planning for an extended outdoor trip onboard your motorhome is a given. However, since you have to travel during winter, you must take special consideration into making your RV as warm and comfortable as possible. It is necessary to pre-heat the vehicle's interior—much like thawing food in a conventional oven—at least a day before the trip. This ensures that none of your companions would feel as if they’re stuck in a thermally insulated appliance during the trip. If RVs in Edmonton garages have been idle for more than two days, it is highly likely that absent heat may make the interior colder than outside temperatures. Open the cabinets to improve the circulation and hasten the process of driving out the cold, and turn the electric blanket on while leaving it on top of the mattress to encourage the spread of heat quickly. You may also leave the portable furnace on during the trip, which assures you and the occupants of a comfortable trip throughout the day. At the same time, keeping your RV warm through winter is as easy as installing insulation pads along the interior walls and ceiling of your vehicle. Styrofoam mats available at your nearest hardware store are your most convenient bet. However, make sure you stick these properly and that you do not leave anything hanging from the ceiling. At the same time, keep them away from direct sources of heat and electricity, such as near power cords and heaters.
