Nope! Not yet (North and East of Indianapolis). Temps today are in the 70's! Windy, but nice!
Slept in the camper last night (driveway) with all windows open, and the door, only the screen door was closed!
EDIT:
OK, I'll admit it! I took a shower last night (after dark), using the outside sink shower on the camper! We DO live in the country .... AH!!!! Nothing like standing butt naked in the middle of your drive way at 11:00 pm at night with an almost full moon in 69 degree temperatures!
Winterize ... nah ... not yet! Have an outside shower planned for tonight also!
The only way to use an outdoor shower :) - gaymeadowsmanExplorerNo glass house here, We have plans for Halloween , Thanksgiving and New Years camping either local or just a bit farther south but still in Alabama. We only use air pressure to blow out the water lines and the pink stuff in the toilet and drain pipes. We buy 2-3 cords of firewood a year for home and camping use and we watch the local weather and can plan winter camping to a number of year round camp grounds within 100 miles. Late Jan and Feb are about the only months we go through withdrawal.
- DE88ROXExplorerJust did mine last friday. yes, it was a sad day.
- travelnutzExplorer III feel sorry for people in Montgomery Alabama area or all of Alabama for that matter who are not smart enough to winterize their RV's. Here's why:
Anniston: 18 (Record 20 in 1903)
Birmingham: 20 (Record 18 in 1903)
Fort Payne: 14 (Record 22 in 2008)
Huntsville: 21 (Record 21 in 1951)
Mobile: 23 (Record 27 in 1951)
Montgomery: 16 (Record 22 in 2008)
Muscle Shoals: 20 (Record 17 in 1903)
Tuscaloosa: 21 (Record 22 in 1951)
BTW, we were in a CG overnighting in 2008 on the south side of Montgomery (South Blvd near I-65 behind the gas station) in 2008 when it was the low 20's F so we know how cold it gets. Lots of frozen water lines in the RV's and in the CG. 16 to 20 F in Alabama is beyond bone chilling and feels much colder than -28 F when we were our RV in Chapleau, Ontario Canada.
Perhaps a poster with glass windows shouldn't throw stones! - mike-sExplorerLOL. I'm always amused by those who do this passive aggressive thing about regional weather, acting like a change of season/temperature is somehow bad.
Myself, I like the difference between seasons, including a true winter and cold temperatures, or I'd move to someplace else. - blofgrenExplorerLOL, thanks for the sympathies! We winterized and put ours into indoor storage a week and a half ago. It is not cold here, but the endless rains are definitely here which really starts to put a damper on camping. We will get it back out of storage in March or April, sigh.:(
- Toolguy5Explorer IIIStill on the road. Will winterizing next week when we return home.
- Mr_BigglesExplorerWinterized last weekend. Already been snowing on and off for a few weeks. Winter started early this year...
