Almost ready for winter!

I wanted to give an update on my project of preparing my Overlander for a harsh (hopefully) winter of cold and snow. I cut the foam board this weekend and secured to the plywood. The sewer drain hose is nice and sealed. Now all that is left is insulating the windows and vents inside!

I’m expecting an average of 0 degrees at night and potentially down to -30 below. Also 2-5ft of snow on the ground.

Hi

You likely will need heat on the drain pipe at those temperatures. A lot will depend on just when the snow hits. 5 feet of snow will add quite a bit of insulation.
