Looking for advice and insight for our 1st trip:We will be leaving upstate NY in late December for a 3 month trip/stay in Florida . We plan on spending two nights getting there.Our class c has been winterized and will be when we leave. I am looking for any and all advice on the do,s and don’ts.Thanks in advance

Watch the weather reports and don’t dewinterize until you are sure temps will stay above 30F. Enjoy!

We do this every winter. It is usually 20 degrees when we leave New England so we stay winterized until nighttime temperatures are above freezing. We take a 2 gallon jug of fresh water for drinking and washing and leave a gallon of RV antifreeze in the bathroom for flushing. Usually by the second night we fill the fresh water tank and are good to go. Dave

The same as above, sometimes when you stop for the first night you can put water in the tank if the weather is good.

Hotel use for the first few nights, I check on Google earth to make sure I have plenty of room for the motor home with tow car

It is so nice to walk into a warm motel room, instead of trying to set up a ice cold trailer with an even colder bed. We stay in areas with dining places within walking distances and select motels with warm continental breakfasts to have after a nice hot shower to start our day.We will have plenty of time to enjoy our trailer after we reach our destination.
