Winterizing for winter work
Pipeline workers in Billings MT live in their RVs through the winter. Living in a hotel is very expensive and not conducive to family life so many pipeline workers travel from job to job in their RVs so they can have their families with them.
Workers who drill for natural gas have also chosen to travel in RVs. When we stopped in Heber Springs, Arkansas to visit with Steve and Kathy Anderson of Workamper News and Greg and Debbie Robus, former owners of WN, our campground had a number of RVs with natural gas workers.
To stay in Billings, even Heber Springs, in winter requires you winterize your RV. RVs are not designed for extended below-freezing weather. Pipeline workers have learned many tricks to keep warm and to keep their utility bills down. These include things like heat tape around hoses and skirting around the bottom of the rig.
