Still using ours in the drive way. Slides are in, camper winterized, waiting on our trip to South Carolina Christmas week. No snow yet, temps nearing 32, but not gone below yet. I guess I could have delayed winterizing, but didn't want to take chances. Still, this is not stopping us from using the camper.
We use to cover our previous camper. I'd leave it accessible so we could still sleep in it at night, even with snow on the ground. Maybe you can run an electric line to yours, unzip the size of that cover, lift the cover where the furnace vent is and fire it up and spend some more nights in there. We use to do that, but don't cover any more, especially since we use it too much. And the last thing I want to wrangle is a cover with snow on it to get ready to go to South Carolina on December 23 and then having to figure out how to get that cover off! Snow is heavy.
What I'm saying is... why not keep using your camper right there at home all winter long! Put a port-a-potty in the bathroom so you don't have to run water, dump it ever morning, and snuggle in bed with ... well ... someone! And get a good night sleep!
