This is our first year with a camper, and we are still learning a lot! Bought the Jayco used this summer, and used the propane furnace for the first time this weekend. Camping in 25-50 degree temps makes us appreciate our warm house a lot more! (We did cheat and carefully use an electric space heater for most of the time.)
Father Hennepin is a great little park just outside of Isle, MN. The grocery store, liquor store, hardware store, and best of all an amazing bakery are all 5 minutes away!
The park has some beautiful (short) hiking trails, and there are larger state parks nearby. Highly recommended!
So how bad was the cold in the popup? We’re taking our out in a few weeks and wondering just how far we can push into the winter here. Our averages temps don’t hit 32 until December, but of course that’s only average.
We’ve got a electric heated blanket and a vornado space heater ready to go. We will of course be safe as can be with everything.
Wondering if it’s good enough to enjoy or more of an “adventure” to sleep that cold. Mainly because we have a kiddo and “adventure” with sleeping is no fun for anyone.
I had a pop up for years in MN. Your living the dream. Winter camp is doable in a pop up. Tettegouche in the winter is awesome.
Looks like a good time. Using an electric heater I wouldn’t consider cheating. That’s part of the site you paid for. We rarely use our propane for heat if an electric heater is able to keep the trailer warm.
