First Time Snowbirding

   Ok, I'm looking for advice. I'm planning to snowbird from Michigan to Florida in January, taking the 179 with me fully winterized. The initial plan is to drive the first day or two leaving the trailer winterized and likely spending a night or two in hotels along I-75. I'd be very interested in advice from any of my northern Podder friends on the forum who have done similar trips. 
Basics:
When do you de-winterize/re-winterize?
Do you lower tire pressure at the start to compensate for warmer temps as you move south?
Security concerns at hotels/rest stops? Where not to go/stay/
Tips for keeping mileage decent?
Other basic maintenance tips?

Feedback is greatly appreciated!
