Winterization

I have "pro and coned" the question of covering it. The advice here is pretty much split. I know from car experience that a cover is not good. But this was a car in a carport, not garage where I would not have needed one anyhow. It ended up with "chill bumps", pimples and had to be repainted! Just got too humid under there. Costly way to find out for sure.  I know some of the weather in the North just about calls for protection of the investment. But may be cold enough not to build up heat under the hood and cause problems. I still plan to get a coat of wax on it before Winter sets in, some protection. Leaves are just about gone, those do stain if not looked after. That big white roof is a target for birds, but I take a hose to it when the weather allows.

Time for that Winterizing again and I just about fall off the turnip truck each time remembering how to do it.

One got to camp once this year(2012), drats, one thing or another keep me from it, begin to think if it keeps up I may have to sell mine too. to much to have around not using.

Did have 2 teenage girls stay in it here at the house, had powder for ac, lights. but no water. they loved having a private place of their own.

have a trip planned out on Haloween, with one old dog(13) and one new dog (6months). Hope I can deal with both. will not have hookups, but I carry water, do washing up and take water to sink in campground, don't use bathroom except to hang clothes. Having propane for heating and cooking great and have a lot of tensor lights and batteries, car charge my Kindle in car, what more do I need. Just need the time away to see if I am going to keep the rig.

I don't know what they are worth at this point , have not  checked, why I asked about the 171 that was for sale.

My pump is under the bed, hard to get to under that mattress, but with help on the forum someone told me how to rig boards up to prop the mattress up and it works like a charm. have hose intake for antifreeze at that site.

Weather here does not look really cold for the next few  weeks, so I am going to do a run and see if I want to extend my stay at Elkmont.

Hope others have done lots of camping to make up for what I have not been able to get to.

Happy camping all
