Know before you go
Snow, ice, and closed campgrounds make this a non-RV month for all but the hardiest setups.

December tips for Vermont
Nights dip to freezing or below: insulated water hose, tank protection or a winterized rig, and extra propane.
Carry traction boards and check chain requirements before any mountain route.
Plan shorter driving days — winter-pattern daylight is limited and campground offices close early.
