I would suggest dry camping at that point. Not sure where you are, but in Alberta everything would freeze in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't do any cold winter camping, in any FR product. They don't make any true 4-season RVs, just 3-season at best.
ESPECIALLY an ultralight like the Nano.

I would dry camp. Michigan has a few state parks that are year round with heated bath houses. id sleep in the unit winterized and get a site close to the bath house and walk over. True winter camping with below freezing temps day and night is rough in any camper. Temps warming during the day and below freezing for a few hours at night may be a little more realistic.

Thanks for the feedback. I am knocking around the idea of setting up camp for a week of skiing in Colorado.

Hwkscr,

We camped all last winter at a ski hill.

This is how we managed it.

-Drain every tank and winterize
-Drop about 3 gallons of water in the black tank WITH antifreeze
-Used the toilet as normal with a gerry can of water to flush
-Used the gerry can for all of our water needs.

It wasn't bad. Everything else worked fine.
