Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Anyone near Longmont, Colorado?

We got snowed on in Golden in April, which is not that far from Longmont. Your weather will be similar to Denver, since it is close by. From sometime in April to sometime in October, an RV would be good and many RV there during that time. In winter I would want to live in something much better insulated. You can get snows and temperatures in winter that will challenge, including driving. But you will also have sunny days above freezing and sometimes into the 60s the same winter.

A friend got to experience 50 below her first winter in Colorado Springs, which has colder weather than the Denver area.


Remember most RVers do not live in one place all year, we move around.

Just curious what its like to RV in Colorado...........since a job opportunity has come up there.

I say no, its too cold.  He says "but I'll buy you a bigger coat!"  Yeah, it snows there.  "But there is low humidity!"

 

Hmm.

I've lived in Denver for more than 20 yrs & have been fulltime in the Denver area for almost 2yrs.  Winters are pretty mild in Denver.  It snows, blows & gets cold but that doesn't usually last too long.  It will get cold for a while, then the sun comes out & it warms up.  Because we're at a high elevation, the sun warms things up quickly & the air is dry, which feels warmer.  We've been pretty comfortable in our Mobile Suites the past 2 winters.

That being said, I personally wouldn't want to winter here in a "weekender" type of RV that was poorly insulated, although I know people who do.  If you're here during the winter, you do need a heavy coat, boots, gloves, etc.  But it's not like other parts of the country where it gets bitter cold & stays that way all winter.

I live about 90 minutes west of Denver and right now days have been hot with cool nights. You will be alright living in your RV until October and then you might want to think about moving into a sticks and bricks.
