New Snowbird

My husband and I bought our first motor home February 2013. The winter was terrible in Michigan last year. Decided to try going to TX for two months. Have no idea where to start? Any suggestions for a website to get info? I know I need to get my house ready and also prepare for where we are going? I just keep on going in circles. Help a first timer snowbirder, please.

  • More people from Michigan than any other state in our park in the winter. Of course we are in Central Florida :)
  • A lot depends on your interests. The Gulf Coast, RGV or anything south of I-10 will be better than any winter in Michigan.
  • You've come to the right place! Just start asking specific questions.

    In the meantime, check out the questions and responses posted on the Snowbird topic, just as you did here. You may find many of your answers there.
  • You have o go pretty far south in Texas to avoid ice storms and other bad weather.
    SO you are looking at the Texas coast.

    Have you considered Arizona as the weather is generally warmer in spots of Arizona than in Texas.
    For example last winter Texas got 2 or 3 really wicked winter storms with lots of ice.
    At the same time Casa Grande, AZ had over 110 days without rain average temp +- 70 in the day and 40 +_ at night.
    For more specific info PM me
    Not looking to start an argument here over the merits of each place just giving an alternative
