Need some advice with cold weather

I lived in Dallas for 4 years .. I will never forget the Christmas week we had in 1988 when the temps went to -5 degrees for 5 days! (actual air temps..not wind chill!) This was our first winter in Texas and we could not believe how cold it was! Everyone's pool froze up and we had thousands of $ in insurance claims! Welcome to Texas! The point is, there is NO way to predict weather in North Texas in winter-- 70 degrees one day-- 20 degrees the next-- or colder!! Black Ice is frequent-- Forget driving on it with a car let alone a trailer! I would not take a chance that late in the year and get a hotel! Even if you winterize, it will not be fun to bring bottled water and have to use public toilets or someone'
s bathroom you are staying with. Not worth the risk in that area in December!

This is good advice for this part of the country at this time of year. The trailer freezing up could be the least of your problems if we were to get freezing rain or sleet which can happen this time of year. I have been rving since 1974 and I would not do it in this area at that time.
