Advantages to Winter Travel in your Camper Van
Here at Adventure Life Vans, we advocate for continuous exploration, even when temperatures drop in winter. Winter travel presents unique advantages to van life that should not be overlooked. We’re going to highlight those advantages to give you the boost of encouragement you may need to give winter travel in your camper van a try!
Less Crowded Destinations
One of the primary benefits of winter travel is the reduced crowd levels at destinations. This translates to easier accommodation reservations for your camper van, and a clearer, more leisurely experience of the surroundings. Exploring new places with less crowds will also provide you with a deeper connection to the places you explore, and will lead to more moments being etched in your memory to look back on for a lifetime.
Gain a New Perspective
Exploring National Parks in winter offers a fresh perspective, with snow-covered mountains and a chance to witness wildlife in such serene settings. Nature’s allure remains captivating throughout the year, but the winter ambiance adds an extra layer of enchantment when fewer visitors are present. This coincides with the previous advantage of there being less crowds – it means your perspective on the places you visit, particularly National Parks, will feel incredibly special. With fewer distractions comes the opportunity to feel more present in the moment, and to soak up your adventures for everything they are.
A Warm and Cozy Camper Van
Returning to a warm and cozy van after a winter outing is the ultimate comforting experience. Equipping your van with a Webasto heater and Havelock insulation, as we do in our luxury camper van builds here at Adventure Life Vans, ensures you stay snug regardless of the outdoor temperatures.
We offer heater installations if you are interested in adding some warmth to your winter travel adventures in your camper van! For more information, you can check out this webpage that talks more about our extra services, and you can also schedule a free consult call with us! We’d love to help make winter travel in your camper van as enjoyable as possible so you get the most out of your van life journey.
Winter Activities with your Camper Van
Engaging in winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, and winter hiking (especially if the hikes lead to hot springs) are phenomenal ways to take advantage of the colder months, with the right gear of course. A well-equipped adventure van (like the camper vans we build) will help you get the most enjoyment out of these activities, offering warmth and comfort after a long day filled with winter escapades.
We encourage you to embrace the benefits of winter travel and make the most of the season’s offerings. If concerns about staying warm during winter travel dampen your enthusiasm, our van heater installation services can provide the solution you need. Contact us today to enhance the warmth and safety of your van life adventures!

One Important Note…
To make the most of your winter travel adventures, if you are using solar power to travel be sure your van’s batteries are equipped to function at lower temps. Solar charging may be limited in the winter months due to overcast/cloudy weather and shorter days. We install heated Battleborn batteries in our vans BUT all of these components have limitations when trying to use them in below freezing temps. Be sure to read your owner’s manual carefully for all of your van components to keep things running smoothly year round!
See you around!
