Heated Mattress pad all the way!. When you use an electric blanket the heat rises- rises away from you and to top of the trailer… with mattress pad- heat rises up in air trapped in the blanket and keeps you toasty warm! So spend the extra money for heated mattress pad cover

This list is from rv.net and is in .pdf format.
It lists campgrounds by state, Park, Internet service provider and cost of wi-fo service on campground ( if any- most are free)
It is quite a comprehensive list.

-RV Anti Freeze in water lines. Don’t forget to pour a bit down the drain as well- and turn on ANY shower taps as well.
This process is explained step-by- step in Winterize Your Pop-Up Trailer

-Cover tires if outside- this protects the rubber from sun.

Remove/store battery and use a trickle charge to keep it “healthy” especially if you are using a deep cycle or RV battery.

-If you have a portable potty- take inside, this will also freeze.

-Make sure no food. shampoos, cleaners, etc left in trailer- will freeze and make a big mess. Food will attract critters.

I would remove the battery and bring into garage or inside. Set up with a trickle cell charger ( cost about 20-30 dollars, can buy pretty much anywhere, Walmart, Hardware stores, etc.)

You can also use a low amperage ( cheap) solar cell panel for your battery- as a TRICKLE charge only. Don’t expect this to “charge your battery for you..
