Those that store their campers..when you pulling them out!

Just curious because the wife and I are chomping on the bit to pull out the camper and get ready to hit it this spring..We still have another month or so I guess..woke up this morning to -8 here in southern Ohio.

You have to make a reservation for next summer already....

I can't plan that far ahead, I'm very lucky to have 7 Provincial Parks within 1.5 hours of my house. I just leave on a Thursday night and take first-come sites / non-reserve sites. If I wait until Friday morning, they are all typically taken already.

90 days... I thought you meant next summer (2016) my bad LOL.

We have the same foolishness here for the Provincial Parks, however we have 5 months of window. You also only have a few minutes until all reserve-able sites are gone. There are only a few non-reserve sites in each park.

I wish all campsites were first-come. But, around here a lot of them are on a reservation basis. The campground I'm looking at has a 90 day window for reservations. The reservation system opens at 7am. If I don't get a site by 7:10am they will all be sold out.

It sucks.

I keep mine next to the house. Probably will de-winterize in early April after threat of freeze is over.

[rbpru]

After a week of 40 to 50 degree weather I can finally reach my TT without a snow blower.

It will get pulled up next to the house on 3/13 and we will clean up after the mouse prom that was held in the kitchen.

New batteries for all the alarms and maybe a country round the block (4 miles) to test the running gear.

I will not de-winterize before our first outing which may be the week of March 23rd if the weather holds.

We will get more Indiana snow for sure but this time of year, the sun always wins.

That is the plan

Comes out 3/21 and 4/2 heading down to Rock Island SP TN and Harrison SP cant wait

We stored our new camper at the dealer for the winter (purchased in November 2014) and can't wait to get it home! We won't do the walk-through until May 9 and bring it home then. Our first trip is the Friday before Memorial Day through the next week.

We are starting to purchase new items for the camper like the truck mirrors, backup camera, silverware, small dish drainer, hand vac, extra spices etc. Lots more to buy but some stuff we can't get until we have it home and know depth of cabinets, length of outdoor carpet we need etc.

50s here today in upstate NY so the snow is melting quickly and making it hard to wait to get some vacation time!

[fallsrider]

I'm considering dewinterizing this Saturday. The closest to freezing that they are predicting for the next 7 days is 39.

[natedog_37]

Mine will be coming home next week. "lower Michigan" will leave it winterized just getting her loaded up and maybe camp driveway.

Pretty sure the snow will never melt here.....Actually the dealership called and asked when we were picking it up as they have new units arriving and are out of room so wee are clearing an area in the yard that has 3 feet of snow so we can get it on the 27th.

[BulldawgFan]

Our traditional annual shakedown trip is next weekend and we can't wait! Off to a great lakeside site that is right here in our county about 40 minutes from the house.

[EcoBullet]

I just store mine in a carport next to the house, but it is gettng hooked up this week. The kids are on spring break starting the 14th and we are heading north to Natural Falls State Park, then onward to Branson, MO. I can't wait!

Winterized early November, dewinterized Dec 23rd. Winterized again December 27th, dewinterized March 5th for a great weekend on the Oregon Coast. It is not uncommon I do this 2-3 times during the winter and doing it myself is not a big deal, if we can use it we do. This time, I'll not winterize it again, but do keep an eye on the temps when they get close to freezing. I've been known to pull it home at this time of year for a few days to run the furnace at 50 so I don't have to winterize it.
