NC coast in Feb...would you do it?

Congrats on the grandchild. We have our 4th on the way (due Feb 15) to our middle son and his wife in Keswick, VA near Charletsville and its their first.

We are heading there Dec 25 and staying through ~ Jan 5 in the RV. We've been there a few thanksgivings with lows in the 20's, highs in the 40's and did just fine with the furnace. This time I'm taking a few electric heaters as well to help, but still plan to use the furnace to keep my bays warm.
Since we are only there for a week or so, I'm planning on only hooking up power. I will fill water and dump as needed, but we normally do pretty good for ~5-6 days. I have a 38 gallon onboard propane tank and full is 30.4 gallons, so should be fine for the week. My furnace setting will only go down to 63, so that is about as cold as it gets inside. :)

Enjoy your trip and safe travels

^^Good point...we are fortunate in that our (tanks) are heated via electric pads.

Just be aware, if you use portable electric heat and not your furnace you may not be getting heat into you tank and wet bay areas so monitor those temps. Most class A's warm those areas with furnace ducting and need the furnace fan to get heat in there.

Also check your storage bays for freezable stuff if they aren't heated. I once froze a bunch of soft drinks and the cans broke and got sugar water all over the place.

We stayed at Carolina Beach last Feb...yep, it was a tad cold at night but nothing our electric heater couldn't handle. The coast is a great place to visit during the Winter.
Enjoy,
Gary

Being from RI, NC will seem warm in Feb.

I thought I set it up in my profile, I will fix that for
future reference....thanks

You are correct it is in your profile, however it would be easier for others to see if it were simply in your signature line.
Most of us are too lazy to make that next click...LOL;)

I am the same way so I added a pic in the sig now....Thx

No problem. We lived NE of there (Cedar Island-Morehead City) for about 12 years. Last year was the first time my uninsulated irrigation PVC froze. Rare to get freezing for more than a day or so. Have been in shorts many years. Wind is the curse but you're inland and it won't be a factor.

We just spent 10days in Maryland over Thanksgiving seeing kids with most nights 28-35 degrees. Ran one ceramic space heater and the furnace and stayed warm enough. As previously stated does go thru propane but only took 7 gallon to refill when I got back home. Also every year we go to Myrtle Beach the last week of Jan or first week of Feb and night are usally cold but no problem. We like cool weather camping.
