Hi everyone!
So I have a 31' Starcraft TT with the Arctic package. We are going on one last trip this year, on December 3rd through 6th to Dallas - before I winterize the trailer until spring.
Only problem is that we're going to see a 26 degree night tonight, and then a couple of similarly cold nights next week before the trip. We live in West Texas - and the nights right now have lows of about 45 - with only a few nights getting below freezing.
My question: Am I going to be OK turning on the interior heat and water heater for those 2 or 3 nights before our trip and my final winterization? Making sure all tanks are at least 1/2 full, etc? Or should I winterize immediately and get a hotel for my trip in early December? This is my first year owning a TT and ya'll's advice has been priceless.
thanks - david
Well-- sounds like most of the advice is to go and take your TT.... Seems like a risk to me knowing that North Texas weather is very unpredictable that time of year having experienced it living in Dallas.. Might be 60 every day-- might be 0 or below zero! You probably will be OK if you take ALL the precautions mentioned in these multiple posts.. Question is.. Do you feel lucky?
