Preparing your Campervan for Canadian Winters: Winterising Explained
Canada's winter months can be breathtakingly beautiful, but they also bring freezing temperatures that can affect your campervan experience. To ensure the safety and longevity of our vehicles, we implement a process called 'winterising'.
During the winter season, our campervans undergo a thorough winterisation process. This involves draining all water from the tanks to prevent freezing, which could lead to pipe damage. As a result, certain amenities like the on-board shower, WC, and washing-up sink won't have running water during this period.
If you're planning to start your Canadian road trip immediately after a long-haul flight, please note that for safety reasons, we require you to spend your first night in a hotel. This ensures you're well-rested and alert for your campervan adventure.
By winterising our vehicles, we aim to provide a seamless and safe journey for all our travellers, even in the chilliest Canadian months.
