Overview
- ADAC Hessen‑Thüringen reports growing interest in winter stays and releases practical guidance for motorhome travelers.
- For heating, the club advises using wintergas, estimating about 11 kilograms will last roughly two to three days depending on conditions, and recommends an electric heater for the gas regulator.
- To prevent freezing, keep water tanks and lines within the heated interior and use a frost‑proof power cable laid where snowplows will not damage it.
- For road safety in snow and ice, fit winter tires with at least 4 millimeters of tread and carry snow chains, with visibility supported by antifreeze washer fluid and basic winter tools.
- Winter‑sports campsites increasingly offer heated common rooms, warm sanitary facilities and drying rooms, and ADAC advises booking early as demand is high, with BeyondCamping listing the Rhön and the Harz among popular nearby options.
