Well, it's not quite camping weather yet, but i'm dewinterizing today. I want my mobile hotel room ready for friday and saturday night. We are going to the casino, meeting some friends in their rig, and staying in the R.V. lot. They are talking a rain snow mix, but its damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. First trip scheduled for memorial day weekend, unless I can't wait that long. My favorite local state park opens may 3rd. Its so close i can taste it.

Yeah, go for it. We had to shovel our way through 3 foot drifts to get to our 177. I got it out of hibernation 3 weeks ago in anticipation of camping at Fisherman State Park, on Lake Michigan near Charlevoix, MI next Friday. As of now we still have over 12" of snow on the ground, so as long as we can dig it out, and the campground clears the campsites of snow, hey baby, we are going. Like you, we can taste it, can hardly wait.

hope it works out jato. I flushed all the lines, filled the tank (i'm a little nervous with a full fresh tank) and I'm getting started. My 172 has the fresh tank behind the axle, so i will be cautious while traveling, I wanted enough water for 2 days to make sure. I'll try to add some tongue weight. Have fun this weekend

Actually we are going NEXT weekend, can't get out, too much snow this weekend, campground couldn't open because they have drifts getting into the park that are higher than your vehicle. Lots of wind blowing off Lake Michigan with copious amounts of snow over the last 4 days make for a mess that will take a week to melt away. We will actually finally hit 40 degrees this Saturday, so that is progress! Sounds like you are good and ready to go. We will hopefully do the same you did next week.
