Since we’re in the middle of winter now, I figure I should be making more posts about staying warm in cold weather. I spent a few hours watching some great videos about this, but my favorite is this one by Carolyn’s RV Life.
Most people don’t use their RV’s in the winter, but Carolyn lives and works in her RV all year long, so she figured out how to keep it nice and warm even when it’s freezing outside. In this video, she offers all sorts of helpful tips for blocking out the cold air and staying warm.
This video isn’t just for people with RV’s. In fact, most of these tips apply to houses and apartments as well. You can watch the full video below.

just curious as to why you just didn’t purchase a heavy plastic and cover the windows. After getting curtains and blankets it would have been more budget friendly, plus let the sun light in for added warm without the breeze. I live in a house with single pain windows, every winter I taped plastic to them leaving about a a 1″ -2″ gap between window and plastic. Amazed at the difference and no loss of light. Tacking emergency blankets (thin silver) also helps to reflect heat back into the unit.
I use a hot water bottle from cvs, fill with boiling water and put inside sleeping bag
I enjoyed your video you did a good job.
Thank you for sharing my video with your viewers! I have been using the Mr. Heater Buddy for months now and have never had a problem!
All the best,

You’re welcome, thanks for making a great video!
1 tip sleep with feet toward window! In the winter I put up clear plastic, kinda thick, let’s light in, keeps air out. Attach with push pins you won’t have to take down till spring. I do this in the cold extra room over where the window ac is, of my house as well!
NEVER put a large propane tank INSIDE your RV. NEVER run a gas fired heater without proper exhaust venting inside your RV. This is the dumbest advice I’ve ever seen, will kill anyone who follows it. She might as well tell people to get in a car, park in a garage, leave the car running, close the garage door, and die of CO poisoning. INSANE.
The Mr Buddy heater has an oxygen depletion sensor in it, when the O2 level gets too low in the environment it shuts off.
I lived in an RV for 2 years, during the winter I used a Mr Buddy for heat, It has a auto shut off on it if the oxygen gets low. It kept me toasty during 19 degree weather and never once shut off or made me ill. I keep 2 big buddys handy in case we have severe weather and lose power. they are extremely safe.
I have one also. I trust it not much. For one thing propane makes the connections freeze and can cause a leak; I’ve heard of it starting fires. Also I don’t see how it doesn’t put out co2 or Carbon monoxide whatever, I get head aches.
I’m with Shannon. I wouldn’t put a propane tank in my RV or use a propane heater without adequate ventilation, regardless of what sensors the unit is equipped with. Sensors can malfunction. No thanks.
