I've never went camping in the winter. I was wondering if anyone knows how to tell if a camper is able to go in the winter without freezing. I have a 07 frontier 2405 the bottom is covered.

Weekender RV'er Here is some info on your trailer

Here is a link to the manual for you

The Kz manual States EXTENDED OR COLD WEATHER USE Your KZ recreational vehicle has been built for enjoyment in a recreational manner.

Not real familiar with the Frontier line, but just because the "belly" is enclosed doesn't mean it has what it takes to camp in below freezing temps without issues.. Even the super high end products like ARV's, DRV's, New Horizons, Space Crafts are suspect at times. These are not stick built homes.  Christmas at camp 2005 in my Old Montana

We used 60 lbs of propane in 4 days it was just starting to get warm inside the trailer when it was time to go home.

I use a tower heater in the living room and a small heater in the bedroom of my trailer. I hardly ever use the central heater... but then again I live in Texas and don't have weather like Chuck's pictures.
