Everyone going south early this year?

I just HAD to get away from the snow and cold no matter what it took!

Just one two week trip visiting a friend down South during winter and I was hooked forever.

The MH and traveling South for the entire winter was the answer for me and the dogs. :C

Agree, when you live in your RV for any length of time camping becomes a hardship. FHU, cable TV, internet, and a concrete patio is needed. All the same things you would want if you stayed at home for that same length of time.

IMO, you got nesters and travelers. Snowbirds are one form of travelers. It's not for nesters just like any traveling for more then a month would be.

I don't camp. Haven't been 'camping' since my daughter was 15. Three days in the rain in a tent with a 15 yr old - no way would I do that again. I RV for 6 months of the year and the other 6 months we spread out in the Park Model and enjoy warm weather and solar snow removal along with restuarants, shopping, arts centers, museums, etc.

NO. Staying near home. Not willing to fight the crazy traffic and inconsiderate dangerous drivers. Florida is overrated, over crowded, and over priced. Arizona was nice, for a while, but we missed the green trees and non dusty air our home state provides.

RVing is not for everyone. We enjoy camping better. Less rules to govern your every move and 50 to 100 times the space between campers. Sometimes we never see another camper for several days at a time. When you do finally see somebody, most folks are actually happy to sit a spell and converse over a cup of coffee.

Life moves at a slower pace when one gets out and does a little camping. The important parts of life come into clear focus.

I totally agree about staying north for the weather. In fact, there are some folks that I hope will learn to love snow.

Now that's funny. Thanks for the late evening laugh.

Hopefully Mid October or earlier for 14th season in Deep South Texas, Palmview 2 miles north of Mexico.

3rd week of September for the last 18 years. I head for Florida and never go back north until first week of May.

Works for me. Did I say I don't like cold below 40º

Love the Holidays in the cool/cold north. Comin' south in Feb.
