This morning we had temperatures in the 20's and it is only a matter of time until we get hit with the full force of winter in the Rocky Mountains. I am wondering if I should keep my RV up here with me, find covered storage or just keep it stored in Denver. My question is how much can an RV take when it comes to low temperatures?

I would be concerned with water freezing (if it hasn't been winterized) and the snow load on the roof.

If the water is totally drained and antifreeze applied, the rig should be good at any temps. Being under cover is always a good idea, like keeping a car in the garage.

I am going to have the water pipes blown out and winterizer put in.
How often should I run the Diesel engine in the winter?

Only once, and just long enough to drive down south.

I never start my rig while parked for long stretches. Unless you're going to drive the rig and get it up to operating temp, the consensus is that starting the engine does more harm than good.
