#45 Full Time Caravanning in the winter?! What it's like to live in a caravan?

Is living in a caravan in winter even enjoyable? Join me on a frosty morning of winter caravanning. This year we've been full time caravanning in North Devon in winter for the first time, and very quickly we learnt that caravanning full time in winter means dealing with frost and frozen water tap. I filmed this material for you on an early morning to give you a taster of what it is really like to do winter caravanning. Our biggest worry was that a toilet cassette would freeze, as we heard scary stories that it could happen, luckily for us it hasn't yet. Kat still cooks in the awning during midday, partially out of habit. Cooking bigger meals which can be reheated later works well. Moving inside you will see that the thermal blinds are still down to minimize the heat loss. Luckily our fendt caravan has good insulation in general and we manage to keep it warm, however the big windows make it a bit tricky, and they need to be covered from evenings, through nights to the first rays of sun. On the other hand caravanning in winter and living in caravan on an empty campsite is amazing, as the site is quiet and peaceful. We love our warm caravan in winter, even though caravanning in the uk with a dog is a bit tricky - think early morning and evening walks in really cold weather. We keep these walks short and take Diesel for longer walks at midday, when it is a bit warmer. In general living in a caravan full time in winter is much tougher than for the rest of the year, and we are happy to endure it as long as we don't have to work. I don't think we could do both, as daily life in a caravan is a job in its own right. For the right people it may be a campsite dream, rather than a campsite nightmare. Still, we love living in travel trailer and wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for watching.
