Question winter towing

just wondering.......... we live in Alberta (cold), we have seen people pulling trailers. Do things not crack when its so cold with the movement? I would worry that the tub or sink or any plastic or vinyl floors would crack if you hit a rough road.

If the manufacturers do their research and pick the right materials things.like plastics hold up just fine. Usually UV light is the most harmful thing to plastics. The cars are designed to flex as we pull them.

In the cold I'd be most worried about frozen pipes and tanks.

I live right off I-69 and less than a mile from my dealer. My dealer gets a lot of RV's from Indiana, so I see them (brand new RV's for inventory) being brought up I-69 almost daily in the winter. Cold weather trailering should not cause any problems.

Delivering a trailer in the winter, snow/ice flew off the roof a semi's trailer in front of me and smashed through a side window of the trailer I was towing.
