That did it. I read them all - throwing bbq untensils at my tinted storm windows. "Careful with the gel coat!" My favorites were the meds ones, newbie lecturing??? and the Yoda slam.
Some rvers love the cold. I do. What alot of rvers do not realize is that in the north it gets real cold. Serious cold. Not the at 43f and "it's feels cold, honey" concept. The deep cold reality. Long months of frozen. -10f and in 20 minutes outside you will perish without cover. I'm serious. It's costlier to heat in winter up north than to cool in summer in the south. I love the Pennsylvania Poconos and Newport, RI in winter. The only rigs I ever see out fully operating are diesel class A motorhomes and the fivers that are not the standard fivers. Most always the Landmarks, Cardinals, DRVs and toy haulers. People who know winter. They are die hard. You need serious, fail proof stuff. Even if I went to Whistler for a week, I'd still be dreaming of my fiver in my hotel room, especially my own untouched bed and bathroom on wheels.
If my wife wants Montana in dead winter, as long as the roads are clear and the all year rv site is clear and available, we go. I've seen Alpines, Big Country, Sanibel, Big Sky, Arctic Fox, Trilogy (note - these are recommended upper med-high for weather) here and there. The mid to med-high level is rising, still not common for staying 3 long months in winter. Some may not realize that mid to med-high good fivers can break down over long temp periods. I've seen Montanas and Excels freeze up.
As long as the roads are clear and fairly flat passage in winter, why bother with always only just experiencing the sun. She loves the California and Arizona deserts. There nice but that's limited really, not exactly comprehensive traveling. Alberta is awesome in winter. Have you ever done a campfire at 3f at night? The amazing feeling you get in 103f Tucson opening the door of a cooled mere 3 seasons ac trailer? It's even more astounding opening the door of a equipped heated rig frozen in snow at -3f for months, a swift change to 74f and hot water perk from the tap.
RV all year tech will be here for all levels of rvs. Ground landline phone becomes the cell phone becomes the smartphone - smartphones are common. Specs, r values one day will not matter anymore. The 3 seasons term will be passé. Why bother keeping a seasonal rv clock. Throw it away. My clock is ticking away. Experience all the seasons at anytime. Freedom.
