Winterized the Roadtrek, reluctantly, since we are hoping to take a weekend trip soon. However, we are supposed to have 2 nights in a row with a low around 26 degrees, which (from what I read here) is on the cusp of needing to winterize, and I didn't want to take any chances. Will probably still take that trip and just make do.

We winterized in Utah a month ago and 2000 miles from home, and just finished a trip to KY`that took 10 days. BTW we live in Northern MN. We are done for the season now, but if you can keep warm, winter travel without water and sewage can be done. Enjoy your trip.

Finished winterizing our RoadTrek, check and added air to the tires, insulated the RT windows, 3 windows, AC, Fantistic Fan, Fan in bathroom, and did couple Modifications.
Put our Porta Potti in the RT for winter use if necessary.

I've finished all my winterizing this morning. Was procrastinating a bit. Woke up this morning to freezing temperatures and a light dusting of snow on the ground. A good sneeze would blow it away. [emoticon]

I finished it off as I only had a couple minor things to do ... remove some food items and make sure that I have all my winter bed clothes there and filled up the propane for furnace and checked to make sure the electric ceramic heater was working.

All is good as I am heading out this afternoon for a short trip. I use my ERA all year. A little snow and cold weather doesn't stop a true Canadian. LOL [emoticon]

Just got home yesterday from a 3-week road trip so I'm still moving back into the house. Yesterday, I used Happy Camper before dumping the tanks.

Then I cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen at the dump station before getting home. Now I'm glad I did. That means this weekend, all we have to do is vacuum inside and wash the exterior.

Can't wait for the next trip!

escended from 8th Century Viking settlement in Normandy. I see from the blog that many like us are winterizing but travelling too in winter. Pretty warm here on Vancouver Island and can actually camp comfortably with bottled water and using local indoor facilities for shower.
Today, I moved all freezable goods to house pantry, serviced batteries and put solar trickle chargers on house and engine battery.

Last Friday, my underhood battery was drained. I trickle charged it until Sunday and it started right up. [emoticon]

Winter prep is complete. Looking at 12-volt dehumidifiers for the apron time between trips.

My chassis battery drained on me once. Fortunately it was summer time and I became aware of it shortly after. I was able to boost the engine from the coach battery and took the RV for a long drive. All has been fine since then. [emoticon]

I had left my headlights on ... any idea how your battery discharge?

I bought a 04 PW Excel.
Now to figure out the ins and outs. As my wife had back surgery, the trusty VW Bus is just to uncomfortable for our upcoming CCW trek around the US.
