I have been experimenting off grid for a year now, my trailer is a 2 season 28ft and externally insulated with reflectix, half done the 2nd layer today, last year a low of -27F -33C and my primary heater was a 350w omni heater plus 40 mins of my 1500w. My basement with no heat was a low of 33.6F. Now you have a good idea of what I have the new upgrade could work well for you, my entire underside is airtight, this year I added a under rug heater , I put it on some flooring over the reflectix bottom, The Rug buddy is 170w 4kwh , with just the 170w heater it was 23F -5C for 10 hours, the basement was 64.4F 18C , bedroom was 68F 20C , Try tuck tape repair tape, clear and nothing pealed even on the roof after a year of -33 to 40C. If you want to try reflectix I already came up with a plan to bypass the insulated floor with no mods.

I'll keep you warm

Great video, I’m thinking the tape comes loose around the foam boards due to the camper rocking when walking inside etc

What kind of tape are you using?

what about condensation issues? i hear campers sweat indoors.

Research Vevor Diesel Heater. Propane causes condensation. They are also super efficient.

Nice!

Hi I really miss you're videos I hope all es good with you thanks.

Thank you for the video and putting us at ease. We are in Macon Mo and needing to spend the winter here due to medical reasons, you have helped put our mind at ease knowing that it can be done. Now I need to find a local propane company to cone set us up a tank and get the supplies to skirt out TT.

very nice trailer and lot and how you got it set up, i see your in process of making the trim and everything, should look very exelant later on, let me know if theres any lots that do 5th wheels, like beast 5th wheels

You did a fantastic job! 🎉🎉🎉 Your video has been extremely helpful. Continued blessings!😊😊

I like that camper

OMG!!! WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS TO THIER BODY??????? OH MY!!!

In my opinion, I would have installed J-channel all the way around the bottom and intalled skirting as needed. No tape to mess up the trailer. Then when you want to move, remove the skirt, move the trialer, reinstall the skirt, good to go.

Your living… I’m impressed !! Great job

What size propane tank do you have there

Pretty clever and cost effective. Where there is a will there's a way my mom always said.

Where is the link for the thermometer please 🙏

Loctite it....

Would you recommend wrapping the hoses in insulation? I have mine parked next to a connex to help prevent wind chill but this will be my first winter in a 3 season so I'm trying to do anything and everything to prep it for the colder months

Can anyone tell me what kind of insulation to buy? We're in the Portland, Oregon area. I dont really know what thickness, and im assuming it comes with the reflective covering?

Why don’t you use heavy duty industrial grade Velcro for your panel around camper?

I have the same unit and my decals are also peeling. Thinking I'm gonna take it all off and do a custom decal. Thanks for that AC thermostat tip, too. I've been considering relocating mine, but you just gave me a simpler idea.

Great video

Thanks. Looking to get into this pretty soon.

Awesome video. 🙏🙏 Im going to have to move to a friend's house but there's not enough room inside. Im moving there to help support my buddy's wife while he's in prison so she doesn't loose the property and i either have to convert the garage to a living space or live in a camper outside. Those are really the only two options other than buying a shed and insulating it. Do you have any ideas other than what I mentioned?

Do You have water running to the camper or you filling fresh water tank during the winter?

I am getting a rv an i hav no electric hookkups. All i need is a heater , phone charger and computer charger how long do you fhink propane will last me for all that

Do you have videos of the winter month's 🤔.

You should be using gaffing tape not aluminum tape

I will give you all a tip that you’ll love and thank me for….. the best insulation to use is ………. Kao wool …… it doesn’t burn…. And the heat and cold doesn’t go through it…… it’s the insulation used in melting metal in the furnaces ….. if you can melt metal but it doesn’t catch fire …. Do you think it will keep the heat in and cold out or cold in and heat out …. Yep … you’re welcome….

Let the haters hate, it says everything that you need to know about them. That tank rocks! Would like to see some train vids sometime if possible. ✌️

Duck tape

There is a spray type glue for gravel so it will not move at Lowe’s

how do you keep the rodents out?

wait what did u say about flower pots ? mint skirt job by the way

Thank you for posting this! My husband and I are looking to move into an RV untill we can get a house. Unfortunately we’re in the northeast so I’m very nervous about living in it during the winter… we’re going to be stationary and I couldn’t really find any videos showing someone’s set up that actually works. I honestly could care less what it looks like if it keep me warm I’m good. Getting an RV is way cheaper vs rent. But thank you thank you!! Any other tips you have for camping in the cold please post! You literally saved our day!😁

What are you draining your gray and black waters into? Is that a DIY septic? Also, I see your close to a building or house? Do you use their electricity or run exclusively off propane? How much propane cost do you average per month?

Your a tougher guy.

Is that bottom bunk not structural?

Was this video flipped or was that actually your right hand holding the fish ?? I'm just wondering if your tattoo is on your right or left wrist ?? 😅

Nice

The absolute best tape that I've found for skirting is Reflectix tape. It stays for a long time, and it doesn't leave a residue on your trailer.

Some of the best tasting fish right there you just let dinner go

So just a silly bit of advice when applying tape to literally anything if you use a heatgun or a Torch to warm the adhesive before you apply. Tape works a 1000 times better again. A dumb life hack, but it works. I've done this while taping a torrential downpour. Even the crappiest tape works better.

Beautiful

The cold is my biggest thing with this. Well my 2nd biggest thing. I live in a very cold winter climate and want to make sure I'm not constantly running out of propane, but finding parking is like a slap in the face. Everyone is crying broke and say they could use an extra couple hundred a month, but not a single person would let me rent space from them, so I'm at the point where I'll have to hit crown land and push the trailer with my back every 3 weeks to be compliant.

I was hopping for good beginner tips but as someone who live in texas. I see this video only for cold climates tips and that’s something I just don’t have to worry about.
