Cardinal RV Club

My immediate supervisor {WIFE} and I are awaiting the arrival of our new 30WB .
Our dealer assured us that our new Cardinal was good for all 4 seasons . Seeing we live in CANADA should we be concerned about the winter months ?
Some R/V's are NOT designed for long term occupation , We plan on living in it for at least the next six months any thoughts ?
We opted for the thermo pane windows and the heater strip in the A/C
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD ADD ?
P.S LOADS OF GREAT INFORMATION SO FAR.
Thanks in advance.

I believe you will need a large propane supply to spend much time in a Canadian winter. Other than that your biggest problem will be keeping water supply and sewage drains from freezing. We have spent many below freezing days and nights without internal problems with ours, but there may be limits as to just how cold you want to camp in. I believe the Cardinal is as good as any other rig for 4 seasons.

We spent about 10 days in ours, in TN, around Christmas. Temperatures dipped to 38-40 at night. Nothing compared to Canadian winters. We were warm but thought we were going to break the bank for propane (no heat strips, just furnace).
Livability? We think ours is great.

Last october we bought our new 36TS. We have lived fulltime in it since. We live in NW New Mexico. This past winter was brutal. Overnight temps were often in single digits. Got lots of snow and cold all the time. We were very comfortable and warm. No problem. We do have the heat pads for our tanks. Only freeze problem we had was at the water connection to the trailer. We handled that by leaving the kitchen faucet drip at night. Even the storage areas are well heated. We keep bottled water underneath, and never had a bottle freeze. This summer has been very very hot, and with the two ac units, again we have been very comfy. Overall we love our Cardinal. I think after ten months, we feel as if this is as good a fulltime rig as we can get. I'm retiring in Dec, then we;ll hit the road.
