One More Season Is Off the Books / myLot

So, it has been written. Our last camp of the season is officially over and now we will have to make preparations to get the camper winterized, as well as go through the inside and take out all the "wet" stuff so nothing freezes that we store like cleaners and shower stuff, hand soaps and the like. Everything turned out great, although we did run into one hiccup. Not with our camper but with the one my sister and brother-in-law rented. They basically blew a master fuse and lost all power to their camper. But we were able to determine what the problem was and fix it. It's always a bit bittersweet to "shut her down," but it is what it is. We're already making plans for next year.

We don't really need to do that here, not to the same extent anyway. Nothing is likely to freeze. Some people go north following the sun and use their van virtually all year round.

People do that here, although they go South. I wish I didn't have to do it.

If you lived in Florida you could camp all year around. Just sayin'.

That's the goal eventually. Well, at least to become snowbirds and live there during the winter.

Just think, if ya were using it in the southwest you probably wouldn't have a lot of issues with freezing cold. Mostly it only get down to maybe 19f in the wee hours of the morn in January or so and it only lasts a couple hours at most, doesn't it get way colder where you are and for longer stretches of time?
