Anyone RV in the winter? I'm not talking about in Florida where the weather is wonderful and you can actually walk around outside without suffering a heat stroke. I mean, out in the wild? Where it's cold and sometimes snows?
 
Yep, I've been where it snows, freezes, you name it, doesn't worry me. I enjoy it. Last winter, January, I took the opportunity to do my AZ exploring. From Tucson to Casa Grande to Sedona, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Quartzsite, then back southern AZ. Crazy cold temps, ice, snow. I've also done the snow/ice out east. In my coach it heats great, well insulated, great HVAC systems. The only concern is snow/ice on slide toppers, if you have those, you'll need to clear that prior to retracting slides. Driving is obvious, know your limits, avoid it if you can. This coming winter I'll be making another north trek from AZ to WA and then back. It could be bad, we'll see.
 
It’s been awhile since I did and never for the whole winter. As @Neal said with another thing to think of is how much snow can the roof take before you to shovel? I figured I would not exceed 12” and luckily never had to shovel?
