I know that for some of you - summer has not yet ended. Yet, maybe for you, with the children going back to school and the weather (I'm sure in some parts of the country - not here yet) cooling down, thoughts of winter enter your mind. RVing and the fun does not have to end yet. There are plenty of things to do in different parts of the country, and world.
When I went to college, I took a winter camping course, and it was actually fun building. On our final exam so to speak, I enjoyed (though it was HARD work) building our own igloo, snowshoeing, hiking, singing around the campfire, and just doing different things to keep warm. Our igloo was even too warm with the body heat at night, that it started melting.
These, except for the first, mostly apply to tent camping. Hey, if you're a full-time RVer, most likely you like to camp in the RV. But just in case you're like me, someone who is interested in doing both, these books might apply to you. Or maybe, they'll just give you hope that you can still have fun though winter is coming soon (sorry if this post offends anyone. My sister calls "snow" another four-letter word. If you aren't ready to read this post yet, just wait a few months:P ).
If you are just interested in checking out some information on different websites, look below.
Don't know if any are THIS adventurous, but, wouldn't it be AWESOME to RV (or even go - that's my #1 place I want to travel in the world) in NEW ZEALAND! RV in NZ: How to Spend Your Winters Freedom Camping South--Way South in New Zealand
Many people only think of this national park in the summer, but no, it's open ALL year long for things to do. Look at my post on "Heading to Yellowstone" for an RV park nearby. Winter Camping in Yellowstone National Park [VHS]
This is just a general guide to what you can to and where you can go to camp in the winter. The Winter Camping Handbook: Wilderness Travel & Adventure in the Cold-Weather Months, Updated Edition
This would be me - I'd build another igloo and go winter camping in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself. The outdoorsman's guide to wilderness camping: A complete manual for the adventurous camper, including plans for tent making and camping in the snow
If you like birds and would like to see some winged beauties in the winter, check out this book. Wings of winter.(Wildlife)(chickadees, nuthatches, birds seen in winter times): An article from: Camping Life
Do you like to cross-country ski or snowshoe? There are many more locations (like California, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Maine, Texas) that were more specific on Amazon to either camp or ski, but I just chose one. Ski and Snowshoe Trails in the Adirondacks
Do you like to rock/ice climb? Here's the perfect book for you! Selected Climbs in the Northeast: Rock, Alpine, and Ice Routes from the Gunks to Acadia
For some websites more specifically to RVing in the winter, you've come to the right place. Please look below for the best websites I've found on the subject:
http://www.rvtravel.com/publish/rvinginthewinter.shtml This is a article on what specifically to do to make your RV ready for winter
http://www.rv-life-and-travel.com/cold-weather-rving.html This site takes a little longer to get to the information you might need - you have to click one of the links on the left side, but there is a wealth of information useful to any RVer.
http://www.marxrv.com/skp/survive.htm An article mostly for Full-Time RVers of how to best keep your RV going during the winter months.
http://www.rvliving.net/winter.htm More advice on winterizing RV - similar to the others, but had some different and useful information.
Keep warm, safe, and functional in those RVs, if using, this winter!
