Heading south for the first time
My wife and I had a 27" gasser for a year. This spring we upgraded to a 38" Holiday Rambler DP. So since we just retired we plan to spend the winter out of the snow belt. The plan is to leave around ...

I would join Passport America and use some of their campgrounds for just overnight stops. You get 50% off the regular rate. Sometimes you run across one that you want to stay at awhile. We are at one now with FHU and $12 per day in Mississippi. We spent our 1st 2 winters in central AL -- too cold. We are at the gulf coast in MS hoping it's a little warmer here. We don't know though as locals think it's cold at 70 so when they say it gets cold, you can never tell.
It gets cold in the AZ desert, can get cold in FL, can be cold in TX - not sure where to go for warmth that we can afford. Florida is expensive the further south you co (so we have been told) and the further south the better chance for warmth. Also remember that on the way down, many campground will be closed in December.
Thanks to all. We are members of Good Sam. I spent a little time on Passport America's web site and it looks like a good deal. On a trip of this length camping rates play a big role.
Regarding the weather. We took a couple of 2 week trips in New England this fall. Several mornings were 40-45 degrees. We used the furnace while sleeping and a small space heater while awake. The electric heater kept us toasty without the furnace ever kicking in.
Can anyone give me a clue of how much LP the furnace uses? I believe we have a 30 gallon tank.
Again, thanks to all for the information.
