Newbies

[Kamalfe]

Hello friends!  We are Karen and John from nJ.

we bought our first RV (26 ft Thor EB) at the Hershey show this past September.  We are Newbies to this RV life and look forward to many future adventures in this coming New Year.

we are taking our first real trip to Gettysburg this weekend so we can get acquainted with the workings of our new RV. We are looking forward to meeting some nice folks as we begin to explore our beautiful country.

Guess the responses are a moot point since the OP never returned before their trip.

While I agree with the above I say go for it. Yes definitely winterize the coach so you don't break any plumbing and use the bath house. But it's still a roof over your head, a comfy bed, and a heater. But if you do not have at least electricity hookups where you're thinking of going I would say don't go. Your battery is only really good for one nights heat before it dies.

Welcome. I agree with Bid_time. Previously lived about 20 miles from Gettysburg, it's a bad time of year to camp there. I think they just got snow and you will have freezing temps this weekend. Also, I think campgrounds in that area are closed for the season. If you still plan on going, I would consider winterizing the RV and use the bath houses for water and showers. Your Rv isn't really equipped to be a winter camper and your lines could freeze.

I hope you realize that - for a newbie - camping in the 30’s and 40’s can be challenging and not conducive a good camping experience. It could be a bit much for a first time ever trip.

30-40s F, shouldn't be an issue if everything is working. It's when it gets down into the 20s that concerns start to arise.
