Hybrids must be hibernating

As it cools off, it seems like this subforum quiets down. Must be a lot of hybrids are going into hibernation. I know mine is.

  • Not hibernated yet but it did go down to 33 last night.....and spit a little snow.....
    Toasty though with the heated mattress and one electric heater. Central PA mountains.

    Just winterized mine. The hot water tank drain plug is plastic and a pain to get at, so I purchased a small stainless steel ball valve from Ebay to replace the plastic plug. I like to drain the hot water tank after use to keep the water from getting stinky just sitting around. Now all I have to do is just flip a valve to drain.



    I'm going to take some measurements to see if this will work for me, too. My plug seems to be nylon and is a very hard-to-get-to place.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Have one in the park this weekend, that have the foil bubble insulation form fitted to both ends.
  • We've got one more trip planned before Thanksgiving at Pocahontas State Park (Va). Then we'll put "Roxy" away until Spring.

  • I winterized mine today. It felt kinda sad. Oh, well, there's always next year!
  • We were out last weekend. Some of the best camping is after Labor Day & before Christmas in our opinion. We are never cold in the hybrid. Feels like home as long as we have no noisey neighbors that is
