No flies or mosquitos yet, but the ticks are out. I had lyme disease a few years ago but was diagnosed early healed!

Looks like a great place! Any black flies out? They just hatched yesterday here in northern Michigan. If they have hatched, what do you use to keep them off?

What no snow? Anyway, lookin' good in the neighborhood. Heat wave @ 44 degrees here in northern Michigan, and the ice is going away on Torch Lake as I write this, due to the 30+ mph winds.

Finally out of the pole barn & washed on a 50 degree day! De-winterize when we get a week above freezing
 Have had a few cups of Joe to test it out. Can't wait to hit the road! |

We crossed the Rockies on i-80 last year in late April and ran into about 20 hours of temps around 10 - 18℉. The bottom of the trailer is enclosed with a so called "Arctic Package" and has a small heater duct blowing warm air into the tank area. We kept the furnace set around 60℉ while we were in those temperatures traveling and a little warmer when we stopped for the night. The only thing that froze were the low point valves and the little bit of pipe sticking out under the trailer where the valves were attached. As soon as we got into Nebraska and hit above freezing temps, the valves thawed out and were not damaged.
I had checked he forecast before we crossed and it was supposed to be warmer, but in that part of the country, forecasts have a pretty wide margin of error. We were fortunate not to have damaged anything, but at least now I know that we can deal with temperatures colder than we would have dared in our 172. Since our Sonoma is a FR product, I imagine they construct the 190 enclosed bottoms similarly.

We moved from tent camping to the Rpod also. What a step up in luxury! My sister lives in Buffalo. We visited with the Rpod, and got our tires rotated at Lake Region Coop. Great service! |

My 62 years of living in MN & experiencing freezing pipes lends me to you go with your hard to believe theory & experience over the sales guy talk.
 Better safe than sorry. Upper 40's in MN now so feeling we're getting closer to a maiden voyage!! We're also aware of the reality of it being mid-March in MN.
