Our last "outing" was the week of Dec 25. We returned home to 5 below zero weather. It took 1 day to get the food items out of the camper and then another month before I could put the stabilizer jacks down (in the driveway) because it was just so danged cold.
As of last December, no leaks, but when we left South Carolina and got home, had the furnace running in the 7 below weather so we could get the food and stuff out, noticed the slider closet had wet walls inside when removing clothing. I figure, with 7 below outside and about 60 above inside, and that slide out wall is not very well insulated, condensation had fun in there!
Left all the cabinets open, doors, everything and shut it all up.
Actually, I was in there yesterday and nothing is wet. But all the slides are in now and no heat in quite a while.
Camper still has a hint of last years campfire smoke. Yea, made me want to just hitch up and head South again! But, there's this little "obligation" I've got going on that's preventing me from doing that .... it's call "a job".
