Winter camping on motor home trailer

If well prepared, having listened to the advice of experienced travelers, winter holiday on motor home trailer will be a pleasant and memorable one. What, above all, pay attention to?
The cold season is not a reason to send the your camper to sleep. On the contrary: what could be better than to celebrate Christmas with warming body and soul glass of mulled wine in the house on wheels? Or spend the night with all the amenities right outside the ski slopes? But winter travel has its own peculiarities. To guard against the insidious frost and save your nerves, you should observe some rules.

Correct operation of the base car - the key to a successful winter travel. Only those who tested the vehicle and well prepared, can go on the road safely.
Of course, you need to install winter tires with the depth profile of not less than 4 mm. Already at 10 degrees Celsius the benefits of a soft rubber compound are evident, and winter tires provide better traction with the road, even if it does not snow and ice.
Low temperatures have a negative impact on the starter battery, the optimum temperature for operation of which is 20 degrees. When the temperature falls below zero battery can reach only a quarter of its starting power. To post a frosty night, there were no problems with starting the engine, in front of a winter journey to change the old battery with a new decrepit.
In addition, clean the battery terminals from the oxide, and oil it by neutral oil lubricated for protection from oxidation.
A good visibility is a key to safety, especially in bad weather and darkness. You need to check, clean and replace wiper blades if required.
The next measure to ensure good visibility - located close at hand (for example, in the glove compartment) suitable wiper mist glass from the inside.
Engine coolant does not usually require special monitoring. However, if during the season you for any reason filled with water in the expansion tank, check the antifreeze in the density of service, or independently by means of a hydrometer. Typically, the coolant has to withstand frost down to minus 30.
