Winter travel??

im from northern Illinois and we usually travel in the fall for about 3 weeks.   We are thinking about going to Florida some winter   How do I travel from freezing temps to Florida and then back into freezing temps without doing damage from the freezing temps?  Thanks for any help.  Lowell

Thanks Olddawsrule.  We boondock when we can.  I guess just get to destination as fast as possible and then get home also fast!!  Not really a simple solution?  Lowell,  another old dawg LOL

Thanks for the tips.  They all make me think of the possible problems and their fixes.

I’d be inclined against it. The furnace puts out enough heat that it will warm the trailer pretty quickly so it’s not really necessary. The way the furnace works is it will try three times to light and if it can’t it will go into lock out mode. So if the wind or vibration from trailer movement causes the furnace to fail to ignite or stay running you might have to reset it to get it to run after you stop.

I've gone MI to FL several times in winter (and back late winter). I usually take three days to get to FL. We start out winterized and usually hit southern Indiana or norther Kentucky the first night at a full hook-up private campground ($20-25). If the weather permits, we'll dewinterize then. By weather permitting, I am looking at the next evening's temps as well in Alabama (if we go I-65 out of Nashville) or Georgia if we head east and take the I-75 route through Atlanta. If the second night is forecasted above freezing, I'll dewinterize the first night, otherwise wait and play it by ear the second night. I again go to private full-hookup campgrounds using the All-Stays app and rarely book ahead. It is easy to get in to these at this time of year and they are not expensive. On the way back, I do this in reverse and carry an air compressor and RV pink antifreeze with me. If I can pick my timing weather-wise, I'll avoid needing to winterize until I'm back in MI.
