Heading south freezing temps

IMO, I would leave them in. Why take a chance on the viscosity of the fluid breaking something. If it does snow, then you just got one more thing to deal with before turning the key and heading down the road.

I have been told the furnace is setup to run with slides in even. Don't know if that's really true or not, but would think it is. I would not put down the jacks in the rare case they might freeze to the ground.

If you got electric you should be fairly warm. Set the furnace low and let the electric heaters keep you warm. Close off doors and keep your personal area toasty.

Yes, your original post ended up in the Mexico forum. I haven't had any problems with the hydraulics in cold weather (except they are slower), my main worry has been snow on the slides and trying to retract (Monroe Michigan last spring), they worked but it was messy inside afterwards!!

On the slides working in cold temps, I've run mine out & in in freezing temperatures without an issue.

If I do not have AC power when moving the slides, I leave the truck plugged in and running when I move them. I also leave the outside door open to less the vacuum/pressure air displacement both opening and closing; takes strain off the slide system (both hydraulic & electric).

Thanks for the replies. Hoping someone will advice us about the hydralic slides. Will they work in those temps. Should we just leave it closed up and grab a few hours sleep and then move on?would keeping the furnace on Help? Is that Dangerous?

Dick we try to head out earlier but travel insurance has been a challenge this year. Must be 90 days stable before leaving! The rig is winterized and we are used to dealing with that. Hotels are a challenge for us with the 2 dogs. I know there are pet friendly ones and I do have a back up plan. Our 17 year old doesn't settle in strange places so it would be a sleepless night.Alabama Jim we can't wait. Stayed near Prattville at a CORE park.

We take the lazy man's approach (hotels until we hit Fla). No unhooking/hooking in the cold; no setting up utilities with frozen fingers; no waiting 20 minutes for rig to warm up. We pay $85 first night for hotel with in-door pool and many restaurant possibilities and only $55 second night for clean, comfortable, wi-fi, fridge,a nice TV and several restaurants withing walking distance. For us it's worth the extra money for the enhanced comfort and both places have ample RV parking. Feel free to PM me if you want more details.

Y'all come on down. All are welcome.

One of the challenges of travel in the winter.
The really smart Snowbirds are already at their destinations. We normally leave from the Midwest just after Christmas and need good travel weather for three days to get to our Florida destination; and the same when returning early February.
Maybe some day we will be smart!
BTW we keep the furnace on 50 degrees (American) on the way so we don't freeze at Rest Areas and flush with pink stuff.
