Just booked a new adventure...

I have a birthday {67} coming up on Friday and have been looking for something different to do so...

The local forecast is calling for a fast-moving cold front rolling into southern Arizona that should bring snow to 5K' and above on Thursday night/through Saturday morning. For years I have talked about doing a quick trip up to Fool Hollow Lake Campground in Show Low {6,600'} for a couple of nights of cold camping.

Got online and sure enough, a great site with 30 amps was available so I locked it down for Thursday and Friday nights. Just topped off the LP tank on our 24' Class C and Nexus builds them like an insulated thermos {I have a 35,000 BTU furnace}. Will arrive with our LP fire pit and a load of firewood and lots of warm clothes, a couple of movies and lots of refreshments.

Told my bride if she elects to pass I will still go but she sounds guardedly optimistic, we'll see.

:B

DC ... so far your Class C has the largest rig-size-to-furnace-BTU-capacity ratio I've seen ... a 24 footer with a 35,000 BTU furnace.

That combo should handle just about any low temps one can experience in any Class C accessible campsite in the U.S. if you've taken care of all the other fresh/grey/black water plumbing cold weather issues.

Happy B-Day ... and please report on how the camping went!
