[Lt Keefer]

I lived in my last Class C for a full, albeit Texas, winter. My home was flooded by a freak storm on Halloween of 2015. We were luckier than some as we could live in our camper while rebuilding. Anyway, after insurance claims, government meddling and the lack of contractors due to the amount of homes being worked on, it was almost Thanksgiving before work began. We lived in the camper parked in our driveway until the work was completed in April. We mostly used electric heaters for warmth. Keeping the inside of the camper warm kept the plumbing working. Having the hose to connect 20 lb bottles to the fill nozzle of the coach's tank kept the propane appliances going. We kept the water tank filled and on really cold night disconnected the hose. That winter taught me a lot about cold weather camping and I have no fear of doing it now.
