Regardless of whetfier you
own of rént, there are a few
things you must be aware of
when using an RV in the
winter. The term = ‘“win-
terizing” can be misleading,
but it generally means that
the windows are double pane
and that the water tanks are
insulated. It doves not mean
that) you can leave the
motorhome unheated with
the water system
pressumzed, any more than
you would leave your house
under the same conditions
RV's that are not wintenzed
can still be used in sub zero
conditions with afew
ComMmmMon sense prepara Qons
One limiting factor in the
use of an RV in the winter ts
the type of propane heater in
wo odf ow has a

forced = air

heater, which are found in
most Motorhomes and Mim
Motorhomes, then it must
have electne power as well.
This can be provided by 110
V hook up or by a generator.
It is unrealistic toexpecta 12
V battery to provide enough
power, especially in the
cold. If you do not have a
generator in your RV. you
must find a site with 110 V
power.

Many of the Intenor ski
areas, tncluding Apex
Alpine. Big White. and Tod
in the Okanagan and
Fairmont Hot Springs in the
Rockies have excellent
facilities right the

ready for
Winter
Games

Eyes will be frozen on
Revelstoke this February 23-
27 for British Columbia's
annual Winter Games,
where thousands of amateur
athletes will gather in the
spirit of fnendly, thrilling
competition.

Visitors are welcome to
encourage contestants in 16
of B.C.’s most popular
sports, including hockey.
downhill and cross-country
skiing, figure skating.
wrestling and gymnastics.

The B.C. Games, summer
and winter, is the largest
event of its kind in North
America.

If the RV has a gravity
furnace. as do most truck
campers, then you need not
worry about electn¢c power
and can run the heater under
any conditions.

The main advantage of
using an RV for your winter
vacation is the cost. If you
have your own, then you can
take your chalet nght to the
foot of the mountain. Since
rental companies are geared
for the summer peak season.
skiers can lake advantage ol
low off season rates and geta
motorhome that will sleep

four at hall the pnmee of a
hotel room or less

RV's also aller a
tremendous amount ot
flexibility If you have poor

snow conditions at one spot
you can simply move on
without incurnnag additional
cost or having lo make new

accomodation plans
