Trying to keep a trailer built for the Gulf Coast to not Freeze the Pipes during a North Dakota winter would be a tough job.

The FEMA trailer I bought has uninsulated tanks and piping hanging exposed beneath the trailer.

That’s why God made Styrofoam and Great Stuff, just to solve that short-term problem. It doesn’t have to be pretty, or permanent, you just have to get through the winter, and do it all over again before next winter.

I wintered with a 5th Wheel toy hauler in Montana. I had to skirt it with 2” foam board and apply heat tape to the water source. It's not hard if you research and take precautions.

By the way, that region gets some serious cold snaps, but the Chinook winds blow through and warm things up periodically. A Canadian once told me that Vancouver has citrus groves. There's a reason they had to provide snow for the Olympic Games and it wasn't “Global Warming.”

Hello, I have heard of these FEMA trailers for sale but have not been able to find any being sold near where I live. May I ask, where & whom did you deal with to purchase yours?

Respectfully,
Cj
