ski motorhome

One of the funniest plans to travel by motorhome is to take advantage of enjoy skiing and snow. In the winter season, it is common for more and more areas close to ski resorts have parking and areas enabled for motorhomes, permallowing travelers to enjoy the full experience.

Many of these spaces also have their own winter sports programs and offer buses to the nearby slopes. In the case of Spain, you can check campsites near ski slopes such as Navacerrada, Sierra Nevada, Formigal, among many others.

What to consider when camping in winter

La climatology It is the main factor on which camping in winter depends. In areas with snow and ice, from CamperDays, it is advisable to park -as far as possible- in areas without snow or ice, so that when it thaws, the motorhome does not sink or tilt. “The best thing is to place the chocks, which are usually part of the basic equipment of your rental camper, under the wheels. In case of doubt, you can also ask for boards at the campsite and use them. Release the handbrake after parking and cover it to prevent it from freezing.

El use of hot water This is something that should also be taken into account. “If you fill the boiler with hot water, use it so that the warm water comes out, since the cold can freeze in the pipes when the temperature is below freezing. The ideal is to heat the waste water tank of the caravan. If this is not the case, you can ideally direct the water from the campsite's outdoor stream into a bucket through a hatch or valve. And finally, it is always better to use the campsite's mains electricity to conserve the battery.
