I know the Sportsmen Sportster 315TH is NOT a four season trailer, but I couldn't resist dragging it up to Colorado and camping in the snow. Temperatures at night got down to SEVEN DEGREES. I used an electric heated water hose to supply water and hoped for the best! We were there for a week and the only problem was the black tank valve froze on the last day. NEXT time I will wrap the few pipes and valves that are exposed under the trailer with electrical heat tape to protect them better. The trailer kept WARM and COZY through the cold weather and I couldn't be more pleased. I have made several changes that make this a FANTASIC TOY HAULER, (this is my 7th toy hauler). I rearranged the cabinets and added a 50 inch tv on a 40 inch pull out with swivel, and added 2 electric recliners and these changes made this a GREAT trailer to haul our custom Harley trike and RZR!

Happy Camping, hope to be out next week in a bit warmer weather. Fill you on board tank use until empty, repeat, heated hose can freeze at the hose bib. One RV park I stay at runs around nights and disconnects any hoses left connected as soon as it reaches 32. They have replaced too many hose bib's frozen & broke.

stevewilson155 Your more of a man than I am, any more it gets below 40 degrees I run an hide, we have camped in some below 20 degree weather but it warmed up in the daytime to the low 70'es but our 5th wheel has a heated underbelly an storage area ... Still if we camp in below 35 degree weather I fill fresh water tank part way an disconnect water hose just in case Safe Travels Chuck
