But with a little preparation, winter camping can be a blast! In this post, we'll talk about how to make sure your forced air heater is ready for the winter camping season. Trust us, you don't want to be stuck in the cold!

2. Inspect your heating system for any leaks, check fuel lines, ducting, and the electrical to make sure there are no crimps and the fuses are sitting properly.
3. Check the bolts holding your heater in place!
4. Crawl under you vehicle or camper and make sure the exhaust ducting and air intake are clean and clear of debris.
5. Test your batteries with a multi meter and make sure there holding a charge.
6. Test your carbon monoxide detectors.
