Sharon and I would like to throw our thanks to Doug and Tammie plus Katie for putting together the gathering. Even though the weather was not the greatest the company sure was great and made up for it. We came home the same route as Jumbojet and the roads were not in very good shape. Seen a lot of vehicles that had just gone into the ditch and this was on Saturday afternoon a day after the storm was over. I540 was almost a parking lot heavy traffic and hardly moving.
We are also ready for another trip but would like to have a little warmer weather at least 50* preferable. This was a test for our camper to see if it would handle the cold weather or not. I had it winterized before we left but I unwinterized it and we used the shower and all of the facilities in it. I had added some additional insulation in the dump valve area and the outside shower (this is going to be disconnected by next spring and capped off). Also the power cord area had extra insulation added (I think this is also going to be converted to a outside plug cord setup and close off this door). I have sensors in the dump area and never seen it go below 40*. Even at that my water tank drain valve seemed to freeze up some. With a little help for my wife's hair dryer it operated with no problem. If I wanted to I could keep the camper at/or above 75* in the camper with an electric heater and with a little fan running and blowing air into the basement it stayed at 42* for the time I was testing it. I took along a small 120VAC compressor and a gallon of anti freeze so drained the water heater bypassed it and blew out my lines and then pulled in the pink stuff. So it is winterized again.
Then came home and after unloading supplies from the camper started shoveling snow and finished it today.
