Winter Camping
Some campers are already looking forward to the end of summer. After all, camping in the cold season has its own special charm! If you follow a few basic rules, you can have an amazing camping holiday in the winter season. Don't miss out on all the fun!
If your vehicle is equipped for winter, it is important to familiarise yourself with the specific regulations of the region you're travelling to before setting off. In some countries, winter tyres are mandatory and you are required to have snow chains in your vehicle. Find out which regulations there are in your travel region before you start your journey.

If you are interested in winter camping, you should bear in mind when planning your trip that some campsites and pitches are only open in the summer season. In the winter sports regions, especially around Christmas and New Year’s Eve, many sites are fully booked. Therefore, it is generally highly recommended to book in advance.
Don’t forget to pack a small folding spade, a broom and some environmentally friendly, salt-free grit. These things can really come in handy.
The right heating
To make your mobile home really cosy in the cold season, it is important to have a well-functioning heating system with an ample supply of gas. To tide you over in an emergency, e.g. if the gas heating fails, having a small ceramic fan heater on board is highly recommended.
Prevent your vehicle from cooling down
When outside temperatures are low, well-insulated vehicles cool down very quickly. To save energy, the use of insulated covers is recommended. Specialist retailers offer insulated covers for all vehicle models in various designs.
Fresh and waste water tanks
Since fresh water tanks are installed inside the vehicles, they do not freeze with continuous heating. Waste water tanks and their supply lines, however, are usually located on the outside of the vehicle. If you do not have a waste water tank heater, you can also protect the pipes with a heating tape.
