Weather wise right now we are around 60f for a high and upper 30's to 40f for a low just in Abq, NM and the sun is starting to stay up a little bit longer. ]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2017 09:09:57 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9280&PID=87519#87519 Finally got our Pod 😄 : This year has been a very warm... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9280&PID=87518#87518 Author: Wat3rdog

This year has been a very warm winter. Albuquerque itself can in the coldest times get below zero in the dead of winter but more typical is in the teens. If you are in northern NM then you will get colder temps and snow with the higher elevations. Abq sits at 5,000 ft. But if you head south to say Elephant Bute or White Sands near Las Cruces then it's not too bad. Probably 10-15 degrees warmer down that way. This is our first camper that I want to cold weather camp in. Great thing about NM is all of the different terrain depending on which part of the state you're in. I absolutely love it here. ]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2017 09:08:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9280&PID=87518#87518 Finally got our Pod 😄 : Welcome! http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9280&PID=87517#87517 Author: bigbearcraig

We used to live in Arizona while I was on active duty with the Army. The southern states can get cold. A lot depends on elevation. At Fort Huachuca, we were at about 5,000 ft in elevation. We got snow in the winter at least a couple of times. While I was in Korea, my wife told me that a storm had shut down I10 through eastern Arizona and New Mexico. On our recent trip, we had sub-freezing temperatures across New Mexico and Texas that was enough to freeze the water lines. They did thaw the next day when the temperatures got up to freezing.

The good thing about the southwestern states is that the cold is not going to stick around as long. It may dip into the 20's at night, but it usually goes above freezing during the day, especially at the lower elevations. At the higher elevations, cold and snow stick around. That is why you find ski areas like Taos, NM or Elk Ridge, AZ.

Being used to the frozen north i am curious as if you can camp in portions of NM year round, w/o snow or cold weather.  Realize cold is a relative term but in your area how cold does it get in Jan - Feb during the evening hours?  Welcome to this fabulous group!]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2017 19:22:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9280&PID=87508#87508 Finally got our Pod 😄 : Welcome to the group!!

Hi from NM,
   With the help of lurking in this forum and asking questions on the FB page, we now have our Pod. 
We picked up a 2017 179 HRE 2 weekends ago. Our busy schedule means no camping with it until maybe at the end of this month. First thing I will be doing to it is mounting my steel lock box on it for the battery with a disconnect. We are so excited as we have been researching and planning for probably the last 2 yrs. 

You'll see me mostly on FB as Tim Jewell.
