Off Season Camping Tip #2 - Bring Water Jugs

We arrived last evening to a quite chilly camper (21F registered in the car thermometer). Our programmable thermostat (non-programmed -- I got to figure that one out!) in the camper stated "LO".

I started the RV heater and we proceeded to take a ride around the campground while the camper warmed up a bit. About 20 minutes later we returned and it was now 37F.

The kids wanted hot chocolate so I went to grab a bottled gallon of water. Guess what? The water jug that left from last week was frozen solid! Fortunatley we brought some single water bottles. Interestingly, the bottles in the fridge were not frozen. Lesson learned: Bring water jugs fresh from home.
