Driving the MH to go Skiing

Thanks for the replies everyone! I am definitely used to cold weather camping as we have done it in our Travel Trailer but only where we had electric hookup so battery power was not an issue. Generally the low temps would be in the teens or twenties overnight.

To clarify... I don't think I would stay at the resort, rather we would head to a walmart or state park where running the genny overnight is not an issue. Its just during the day / evening while we are skiing that I would be all battery power.

Regarding the batteries, I was not implying "only 2", I was asking if they have at least 2. Just making sure that the battery that starts the motor would not be effected even if the house battery was drained.

Thanks again all!

Having done this for 3-4 years as the kids first started skiing I'll give you a little insight - we never found it an issue to stay at the resort, we checked with the management and usually arrived late in the night - we did the Poconos, upstate NY, and even Canada 12-15 times - the only people at the resort are the groomers during the night, so it was never an issue, The biggest thing is it gets really COLD and for the most part C's and gas A's are not really set up for winter at least back in the 80's) - so you will need to run the generator all night, and be prepared for cold sleeping. (we did this with another family and it created some great stories for the kids - 8-9 in a coach)

There is enough noise in the parking lot, that the Generator was never an issue - be sure to have lots of hot coffee and coco as you will have lots of New Friends, Kids love it - we Loved it - they became good skiers - we ultimately found it was cheaper to fly to Salt Lake City and Ski where they had really Good SNOW, than to drive all over the east coast and only find thin snow that covered thick ICE.

Go for it - it will be great!

BOL,
