And then there is Crested Butte where Nude Skiing is permitted on the last day of the season.

Air may be warm enough but falling does have it's hazards

Yup, true meaning at freezing your arse off

21 last night in KY. Electric heater on low and bed heaters on with sleeping bag. Mine has heated tanks and I have full hookups with heated hose and insulation around the slicker with another heat tape wrapped around it.

Camped at -5F in Frisco CO on my ol' 2016 Rockwood 2306, did pretty well. Will like to take the Artic Wolf but some tells me that will be no as good. Noticed the Artic Wolf is not as well build and insulated as the Rockwood MiniLite. That I will buy again or recomend the MiniLites, yes, is a solid product, the only issue with us was its Size. Give me the same build quality on a 5th wheel and will trade ours in a heartbeat.

You do know that Rockwood does build 5th wheels? From what I've seen, they are built as well as the MiniLites.

Reminds me of a trip to Orlando one February. Was in a cab from airport to hotel and the driver looked like he was wearing every piece of clothing he owned. Kept saying it was so cold it might snow. Temp? 44 degrees

I will check them out, however, looking at their floor plans, they seem to be great for a couple, going to need an extra room. Honestly I did not knew they made 5th Wheels. If the build quality is the same as the Mini Lite, I will jump on it. However, Forresr River build the Artic Wolf, and I hope is not a badge engineered camper with different graphics (loosely speaking).

They are great for couples and you can usually accommodate the occasional additional couple when you must. But you get the Rockwood build — better than most.

One of the things that I loved about the Mini Lite was the foam filled walls and roof. You can push anywhere on the cieling and was rock solid. Each time I went to check other campers I always push on the cieling. Anyway, we also ordered our camper with the bigger oven and thermo pane windows. On the Artic Wolf, they gave us a heck of a deal. Brand New 2020 with 50% off, was dumb to pass on that deal. We took advantage of the low sales point around May in 2020. Also, walked out of the dealer with a 2020 Duramax 2500 HD 4X4 Long Bed Work Truck (WT) with 20 miles on the odo for $46K with $1K down. Around the same time.

We bought it for the fact that we camp in the cold, on our ski trips in Colorado. The Mini Lite got too small for our teen daughter and all the extra clothes and equipment.

Tiny Pic took the photo down... bummer.

FR is a corporation.
Rockwood is a division of Forest River and Cherokee(maker of Arctic Wolf)is a totally different division. Both divisions have their own separate factories.
Rockwood/Flagstaff are twin brands, using the same factories. They make 5th wheels, travel trailers, hybrids, popups and A-frames.

I have a Flagstaff and two of my neighbors purchased Rockwoods. Other than decals on the outside it's hard to see any difference other than some interior upgrades and what you'd see in floorplans.

Workmanship was good in both mine and theirs too.

A group of us got together New years weekend. It got down to 17 in south central Nebraska. One guy just slept on the ground under a tarp. Others had a hammock. Several tents some with heat most without. Mine is the first Pic. I turned on the heater in the morning for a little bit.

This morning it was 21. Cold enough for us. Near Winslow Arizona. Thank god for propane heaters.

Great Photos jenandjon! Did you get any frozen condensation on the inside tent surface? Those early morning “snow showers” were a real wake me up if you made the mistake of hitting the tent wall when you woke up!

Non-Hybrid Geo Pro. 17 deg F was low at Otter Lake Campground in the Poconos, PA on 11/6/2019. Got back above freezing by mid morning through afternoon.


Had installed a heatline on my water line from tank to pump. Small electric heater in wet bay. No problems at all. Only used electric heat in camper.

Yea we had frost on the inside. It warmed up during the day so I opened the windows and dried it out. I set the tent up in our shop when we got home to fully dry before storing.

Now THAT'S camping!

-20F in an RV at Artic man, Paxson Alaska. -30F on the back of a snowmachine Cantwell Alaska. About 20 years ago.

I just noticed the original poster, Eric Lund, who posted this in OCTOBER never posted again. Anywhere. Hope he didn't freeze to death.
