First Winter Trip to New Mexico, How to prepare?

[mastercraftka]

I have a brand new Cypress 38bhr fifth wheel and we are taking it Eagles Nest New Mexico over spring break. The site is a good sam rv park.

Other than making sure that my tanks are empty before getting there what else do i need to know about cold weather camping?

I am used to the South Texas heat and only about 1 to 2 hours of freezing temps each morning.

Thanks! Mike

If you're going to be traveling in temperatures below freezing, either (1) winterize the 5th wheel with RV anti-freeze (food grade propylene glycol), (2) blow out all the water lines with air and pour RV anti-freeze in the p-traps, or (3) plan on running the furnace while traveling to keep the interior and basement above freezing. Be sure your propane tanks are full before leaving. If you're going to be carrying anything in the holding tanks, be sure your tank heaters are turned on. All the above assumes that you will have 12VDC feeding your rig through pin #4 of your tow vehicle's 7-pin Pollak connector to keep the coach batteries from discharging.
