We leave upstate NY in January, and we have our motorhome furnace on and the coach warmed up a couple of days before we leave. That helps melt any residual snow/ice off of the roof if needed. If we have more than a couple of inch snowfall, I shovel or sweep the roof. When we winterize I blow out the lines, only using RV antifreeze in the drains, so we fill the fresh tank the day before we leave and use the coach normally on the trip south. Since we typically only move out of the motorhome into our Adirondack cottage if the weather turns extra cold in December, some years we just turn down the heat in the coach for the week or two we're not in it, and don't winterize at all. The point though, is that we manage quite nicely in sub-freezing weather when we leave for the south, and have never felt the need to use hotels along the way.
