Orders? To where? Great Falls? Yes, people full time there. Better prepare for a heck of a cold winter in that stick & tin. Our first winter, we got there at mid September and winter was -46° and about 4-5′ of snow over the winter. I’d winterize it, store it & get an apt. or base housing.
That far north is gonna be rough. If you have a four seasons RV that is properly insulated with at least 50amp electrical to use space heaters then yes it can be done. Doing it comfortably is another story.
You sound military. If that is the case check your contract for military termination clauses if you are still paying the RV off. Change of post/base is grounds for termination of contract many times under the SCRA law.
So we decided to start full timing here in Texas and absolutely love. Thought I had my life figured out for the next year or so and I just got an assignment to Montana. Does anyone actually live in RVs up there? As of right now I don’t think it will work. Thoughts? TIA!
We’re in southwest Montana right now at an RV park. There are several families and people who live at this park year round.
Hi. Not exactly Montana but we full timed in a fifth wheel for 15 months in alberta. Burned alot of propane through the coldest months…. around 200 lbs per month plus. Also insulated the floor very well and trailer was a “four season model” and had fairly well insulated walls and windows. Did not have a slide out which are generally energy suckers due to almost zero insulation. We did not have running water so I brought 5 x 5 gal buckets of water home every night from work to wash/bathe. We were young and made it work. If you want to make it work, I’m sure you will make out as fine or better than we did. Cheers
Edit- adding that we did all this with 15 amp service.
Which trailer mode is this?
Edit: model
get a bigger bottle of propane that sits outside your rv.
