Hope you have the ability to driveway camp then you can at least sleep in the camper during the winter months, even if you can't get away or have no where you could go. We do this almost every weekend. Of course of last camper did not have any slides, this one does, so that may change things once it starts snowing. But even with that, with all slides IN, we can still sleep in the bed ad have access to everythng except comfortable television viewing in the living room. Give it a shot, it might help the looooooooong winter!
