Winter use- cleaning & maintenance question.....
In the past we have always winterized and covered our TCs from late November until early spring.
For the first time we are considering using it for a couple weekend trips to Vermont and Maine in January and February.
Our current TC, a 2012 Lance 855S has the 4 season options, so I am not concerned with how it will be if we use it this winter. We will be warm and dry.
But we live in northern New England and the various highway departments (state and local) use lots of sand and salt- LOTS.
Here is my question for all of you that are in similar areas and situations- what do you do about cleaning all that sand and salt off after a trip?
Do I just leave it filthy until the weather warms in late winter?
I could use warm water from our radiant floor heating system to wash the exterior(we use plain water) but I would worry about it freezing in all sorts of little places around the outside of the TC and potential damage.
I know what the camper looks like after a few days on the road during warmer weather- I can only imagine what it will look like after a few hours of winter driving.
Words of wisdom from northern winter TC owners?
