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

I've twice made the mistake of working hard to winterize my unit only to pull it out too early in March and have a freeze break something. Granted, it's just a trailer so it's not like a house pipe crack.

Still, Central Indiana can be very far below 32 well into April. These are really just big toys, you have to follow the rules if you want to keep them nice.

What camper? OH! That Camper! It's going to be a while. We're on the side of a mountain so I'll have wait until the snow melts off the ice. Then I might be able to get the tractor out of the ditch because it's half way down our 800 foot long driveway stuck in ice. We've been snowed in for a week and a half and it's not going to start to melt for 3 more days. There's an inch of ice under 4 inches of snow. I don't know how long it's going to take for us to see blacktop again. At least we have power and water. Many in Tennessee don't. The covered docks at the lake sunk and took the boats (under the roof) down with them. It's a mess! Now we'll have all that gas and oil in the lake. One day at a time.

We usually de-winterize the first week of April, sooner if weather permits. However it can still snow a couple of weeks into April. It just takes me about fifteen minutes and a gallon and a half of the pink stuff, so I don't mind to re-winterize a time or two if I need to.

BTW, it snowed six inches here last night! :M

UGHHH Can't happen soon enough for me!! Mine is in the driveway, covered up, looking cold and lonesome.
Dying to get in there and do some work!

I have not used my TT before May 1 yet before this year. This year we are towing it to South Carolina leaving April 3. I''ll probably get it from storage March 28. If the temps look bad, I can de-winterize after traveling the first day. It doesn't take long.

Usually the first week of April, although this warm weather we are having here in Idaho is very tempting.

Already pulled it out to start working on it, wont be camping til may but that's ok, i need some time to install and test out some of the mods in the mods thread :)

Last year we pull out on Valentine’s Day for a couple of days of fun in the snow at the State Park. We dry camped of course.

Came home loaded up and left for the Everglades four days later. We were in TN before we could add water.

We returned in the snow and cold a month later and I had to drain and blow out the pipes.

This year we are planning a trip to southern Indiana the third week end of March. We will probably head for the Ozarks in mid-April. I use my air compressor to blow the lines if it is near freezing. Should it get really cold, I re-pump the anti-freeze.

Same time I turn on my lawn sprinklers. Usually one continuous week of night temps above freezing.

The Easter long weekend is our yearly first planned outing and we're doing 4 nights this year. The nights can still be a bit chilly then tho.

For folks in the PNW, it's been on the milder so far this year. The past week or so has been dry and would have been good for camping, with a few chilly nights but above freezing. Anything can still happen in March so the cover isn't coming off for a while yet.

In the meantime, the grass is growing and needs cutting already (grrr).
