Does anyone else use their camper after winterizing?

We winterized our 19ft Zinger a month ago, but we’re thinking about taking it out in a few weeks to do some camping. I’m planning on not using the water at all, but I would be firing up the heater to keep us warm…. I figure that it’s got to be better than tent camping. Does anyone else do this? Are there any other issues that I would run into when doing this?

    Perhaps not an issue where you are but here in S Ontario winter road salt would deter me from towing in the winter. If I were that interested in winter camping (and I'm NOT) I'd participate in one of the winter camping programs that allow placing the camper on-site late fall and leaving it in place 'til spring.

    We have done that. We did use the toilet with jugs of water, and we did get to dump and flush before we left. A bit more antifreeze in the tanks for the dump valves, and you are set again.
