Winter Camping Guidelines (Nov-Mar)

• Dumping Holding Tanks   
• While there are no sewer connections at the sites (except Sites 39, 40 & 41), we have arranged for a mobile septic service to pump out your holding tanks once a week, each Monday, at no charge.  If you leave your bay that contains the valves for the tanks unlocked, you do not have to be “home” when the truck arrives.  If you require the service more than once a week, you can arrange a second dump by contacting Miller’s Portable at 614-873-1051.   Of course, our dump station will remain open and available for registered campers at no charge.
• Water  
• Our hydrants are “frost-proof”, designed to not freeze.  We will also have these wrapped with heat tape as a secondary precaution.  Campers are responsible to assure the supply hose and RV connections do not freeze.  We highly recommend using a manufactured heated hose, and not one you try to create. Make sure the thermostat for the hose is exposed to the weather, or it will not work properly.  Heated hoses are available from RV supply stores & on-line.  Another option is to fill your on-board fresh water tank, then disconnect and drain your supply hose and shut off the hydrant.
• If you leave for more than 24 hours, you MUST disconnect your water supply (hose from hydrant) and shut off the water hydrant.  Failure to do so could result in a cracked hydrant, and you will be charged the cost of repair.  Cost is typically $450 for the hydrant and labor to install.
• Heaters  
• If you do not have a 4-season camper, the bays that contain your water inlet, filters and water pump will need to be heated to avoid freezing.  If the bays are not heated by furnace ducts, then small ceramic space heaters or “trouble lights” with a high wattage incandescent bulb (75-100) work well.
• If your RV is so equipped, you will need to turn on the tank heaters (sometimes called “arctic packs”) to prevent freezing.  Such heaters are available as after-market accessories from RV supply companies.  Portable space heaters can also be used under the RV to keep tanks and supply lines from freezing.  Please follow all safety directions for the use of all space heaters.
• For those with 4 season (heated undercarriage) RV’s:   You must use your propane heated furnace to keep your tanks from freezing, per the manufacturer’s recommendation. See details on getting propane delivered to your site below.
• PLEASE PLUG ALL EXTERIOR ELECTRIC SPACE HEATERS USED IN BAYS OR UNDER THE RV INTO THE 20 AMP SERVICE OUTLETS ON THE PEDESTAL.  THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF OVERLOADING YOUR RV’S 30 0R 50 AMP SERVICE.
• Skirting  
• If you are staying long term through the winter, skirting your RV is highly recommended to prevent heat loss from the interior and from tank heaters.  Skirting must be maintained and kept in good condition. YouTube has a lot of videos detailing materials and methods for effectively skirting your unit.  Remember, it’s only necessary to raise the temperature under the RV to 35-40 degrees.  Your chosen method will be determined by expected temperatures and the length of your stay.
•  Additional Insulation  
• A common way to insulate windows, roof vents and a/c’s, is with “Reflextix”, a thin and lightweight bubble wrap type material with foil on each side.  This available at building/hardware suppliers, some RV suppliers and online.
• Vehicles/Additional “Stuff” 
• A maximum of 2 vehicles are allowed at each site. Vehicles MUST be parked on the gravel area on the site, or in overflow lots.  No additional boats, motorcycles, wave runners, etc.… are allowed on sites. If site grass is damaged from parking, responsible party will be assessed a remediation fee for the Village to repair the site, including cost of soil, grass seed and labor @ $40 /hr.
• Dump Service   
• Although the Village pays for your RV to be dumped once a week, please note that if you do not heat/ insulate your undercarriage and make sure the service has full access to tanks and that your tanks ports are not frozen, the dump service will NOT be able to dump you.  We suggest that you purchase insulative products to keep your tank connections free of frost, ice and other winter debris.  The Village will not be responsible for the inability of the dumping service to perform its service during the winter season.
• Propane  
• Cold weather means your furnace will run often and burn a lot of propane (LP).  Travel trailers and 5th wheel RVs normally have portable LP tanks.  Listed below are LP service providers that can fill these for you.  Motorhomes normally have on-board tanks.  Union Propane (info below) may provide mobile service to fill these on site.  Call them to discuss.  Motorhome owners may also install an adapter to allow connecting to an external portable tank.  These are available from RV supply stores or online and are easy to install.
• **If you are making arrangements for a larger propane tank to be installed on site (larger than 30 gal.) you MUST meet with Denton Kitts or the Parks & Recreation Director and get approval for placement.   Please tell the provider you are staying at Pastime Campground- Village of Plain City.  You will contract directly with the provider, but they need to know that the Village is the land owner.
