Just super curious... You made a choice to actually hook up your truck to your trailer and pull it to a campground to dry camp in those conditions by choice?
Wouldn’t it be the same thing to sit in your driveway in the trailer in those conditions?
Just curious is all.

We made the choice to take the camper. The rates on the hotels are insane during peak season. We chosed Tiger Run Campground, the camper was pretty much to sleep in. We saved quiet a bit by going this route. Most RVers used the facilities in order to keep the Moisture down in their RVs, or just to use the Hot Tub and Swiming Pool. The campground offered snow removal. You will not believe how packed (TT/Motor Homes) was the campground!
The campground is located between Frisco and Brekenridge and 20 min drive to Copper Mountain and few more mins to Vail. Try to book a room, pretty much is all taken and the prices per night are insane during peak season. If you go and stay in Denver, the traffic is horrible and weather conditions changes pretty darn quick.
The problem that I was facing is doubt. Not sure how the camper will tollerate the weather even with Tank Heaters. To minimize the risk, I left the water system winterized and used the potty when really need it. Most of the time, we spend the time Skiing, Tubing, Snowmobiling, and Dog Sledding. Also dined out a few times.
The water lines are internal so I doubt they will freeze if I left the cabinets partialy open for air circulation. My biggest worry was the Fresh and Gray Tanks. The Black Water Tank, just dumped some RV Antifreeze and helped a lot, also used the Tanks Heaters.
And yes... is like camping out on the driveway.
