I'm taking my Florida RV to DC for Christmas to see the grandkids. I will be staying for only 4 nights in the daughters driveway. Being both a native Floridian and new RV owner, I am scared about what a hard freeze could do to my non-winterized RV. I've put together a list after watching a "Gone With the Wynns" video on living in an RV during cold winters. Comments, clarifications, corrections, really anything would be most appreciated.

Outside:
1. Gas supplement? Run generator to get gas supplement distributed?
2. Wiper fluid with winter formula
3. Top off propane tank
4. Don't leave hose out all the time
5. Fill up potable water tank and then disconnect hose
6. Run tiny space heater in compartment(s) susceptible to freezing
7. Wireless remote thermometer in compartment(s) susceptible to freezing
8. Run engine block heater in extreme temperatures
9. Shovel snow off roof and slide tops immediately
Inside:
1. Electric space heater more than propane due to reduce humidity (frozen walls, etc.)
2. Cook with griddle and induction plate
3. Crack a vent to expel humidity
4. Keep Damp Rid on board to help with humidity reduction
5. Thermometer for inside, outside, and inside humidity
6. Open cabinets with plumbing to let warm air circulate thru
7. Use campground showers instead of RV shower
8. House shoes because floors get really chilly
9. Extra blankets
10. Close blinds and shades before sleeping
