Today my brother and I winterized our 5ers and put them in the shed for the winter. A couple of months (4-5) under cover while the cold winds blow...

Sorry to hear about putting your trailer to bed for the winter.We put our trailer in the shed this afternoon and my wife was on the phone planning for a trip the last part of this month. This was before we got the dirty clothes out.We will not winterize it. We have never winterized a trailer.

Sad in deed, I was thinking the same thing. Had to winterize the rv and jetskis today. Shame, so nice of mini home and so much invested not to use it. 4 months or so.I built a building to store it in and left some room to board another one. We all can't live down south.

I hear that it will be 27F on Tuesday night in Portland Oregon. I guess it is that time of year. Sad but it happens!Fred.

We are winterizing tomorrow - it's terribly sad.OP - nice storage "shed". Wish I had one of those. I have the room, but I'd have to cut down a lot of trees...the landscaping required might cost more than the building...

We talked about maybe sneaking away down South in January or February to grab some warn sunshine if the weather breaks a little and our schedules match up.The shed is nice for storage and everything else. Should make the campers last longer too.My brother, a friend or two and I built that shed about 10 years ago...we are almost ready for a big garage sale as it is starting to get pretty tight in there with all our junk. 50 x 100 wasn't big enough...there is the 15 x 50 addition on the left with the small garage door. We poured it all in concrete including the front apron but left the drive and turnaround area in rock so it was easier on the suspension and tires. We can both turn our 5ers around in front of the shed, making it much easier coming in off the main road.

Sad day to winterize and put away for winter...

No shed here, but splurged on an Adco cover. Finished winterizing this weekend and covered up. I hope to get out again in late March, early April.

Just did the first winterizing yesterday, plan on repeating it several times before spring as we try and camp at least once per month. Our next planned trip is end of December, but I'm sure we'll get out before then at least once.
I only use air for the supply h2o and a gallon of the pink stuff in the drain traps and tanks. Takes me about 30 minutes, and haven't had an issue doing it this way for 10 + years.

No,no,no. Just the Chebby & Voyager are mine. The MH & building belong to the property owner. The hot rod belongs to his manager.

Do you have any pictures of that Hot Rod ? What is it ?
