Insulate Your Camper

You want to prioritize safety and comfort when traveling with your RV—more so when vacationing in winter. Ideally, you should add insulation to your camper to make it extra cozy and comfortable for your family. You can install thicker curtains on your windows and cushions on your vents to retain the heat inside your vehicle. Applying an insulating window film to your glass panels can also come in handy.

Dress in Layers

More importantly, you want to dress suitably for your endeavor and carry extra clothes to stay warm and comfortable. It helps to dress in layers—you can add or remove a few layers depending on the temperature. You also want to bring a few extra blankets along on your trip.  

Prepare for Bad Weather

Finally, you want to prepare for inclement weather conditions before departure.

Keep tabs on the weather forecast a few days before your trip, and postpone your outing if bad weather conditions are predicted in your area. You also want to have enough food and supplies to last a few extra days and warm clothes to keep you safe if you get stranded due to bad weather.
