The most convenient time for various types of travel is of course summer, but in winter life does not stop, especially for people who love outdoor activities and new experiences. When traveling in winter, it is difficult to find a good place to stay overnight, you can’t spend the night in a tent because of the cold, there will not always be free places in hotels near ski resorts and other popular places. Therefore, anAirstream in the winter from Mississippi will be an ideal option.

Is it possible to use an Airstream in winter?
Some believe that if it is difficult to start a regular car in winter, then winter is generally a dead season for caravanners. Others think how warm it can be in a small room that is made of metal and plastic. Everything is not so. In the winter you can have a great rest and even live in a Airstream. The main condition for this is to properly prepare the house for the winter, and then the rest will be comfortable and cost-effective.
Most Burstner Airstreams are cold prepared and equipped, but if your Airstream is not suitable for winter operation, there are two options to solve this problem:
contact the manufacturer for revision;
contact the service center to install the “winter package”: wall and floor insulation, special heaters, double floor, etc.
Any of the proposed options can be used, the main thing is you need to determine what exactly needs to be finalized and how long the Airstream will be used in winter.

How to prepare a camper for a holiday in the winter season
Let's name the main conditions for preparing a Airstream for use in the winter season :
1. the presence of a heating tank for wastewater, because the tank is installed outside, it must be heated so that the water in it does not freeze;
2. insulation of the wastewater tank to reduce the consumption of electricity for its heating;
3. laying pipes for water supply in air heating mains;
4. the dry closet must be protected from water freezing, for this, it needs heating or constant topping up of antifreeze;
5. heated floors, because downstairs is always colder, the floors need additional heating and insulation.
Taking into account the refinement, the price of such a Airstream will increase slightly than that of a full-fledged winter Airstream from Mississippi. The disadvantages include a low degree of mobility, tk. for floor heating and water tanks will constantly need a source of electricity.
But if all the above conditions are met, the Airstream will be perfectly protected from low temperatures, and you will be able to have a great time and relax.

The frost resistance of Airstreams is influenced by various components: wall thickness; the material from which the wall panels are made; type and power of the heating system; Airstream volume; strength and tightness of the connection of floors and roofs; the presence of double floors in the camper.
Many models of modern Airstreams from Berstner are initially prepared for winter and sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, before the operation, it remains only to check and, if necessary, charge the battery replace the candles, lubricate the locks. But it would be best to conduct a full diagnosis and eliminate the most minor malfunctions to avoid them on the road.
And then your vacation in a Mississippi Airstream in winter will be comfortable, warm, and safe.
