Party,
We are in the same condition, but my scheduled departure is 20.
It will be warm in the day Thursday and Friday here (Chicago can't be very different.) I can keep our coach comfortable with a 1500watt ceramic cube heater. So, Thursday, I am planning to take the coach out of the barn and run it enough so I can top off the coolant. (I had to drain it for a T'stat change.) Stop off at the local place I get LP and top that off. Then come home and fill the potable tank and check out that system. (No real reason, I'm just paranoid. Old and paranoid - the two go together.)
I may put it back in the barn, I also might not. The electric will keep it from damage to the mid 20s and then Monday I will pull up next to the house and we will load and go. I would like to start loading now, and we will some while I am putting water on, but that means trudging though the snow (3"). At least we kept the lights on.
