It’s the last day of January. Can you believe it? The calendar flips over to February tomorrow, which means we’re in the middle of winter. Does it feel like winter where you are? If you’re somewhere warm, know that our staff is jealous of you!
Do you usually use or store your RV during the winter? Are you in your RV right now or is it stored away, longing for warm weather and sunshine (like us)? Tell us your answer in the poll below. Thanks!
We live in the Seattle area and have an RV Pad in our back yard and keep the heat on when it gets below freezing. The Evergreen Winnies Chapter we belong to schedules 12 outings per year, one each month, and has done so for over the 20 years we have been members. Very few in January have ever had to be canceled. December is our Annual Christmas/Holiday party. We have missed a few due to illness or mechanical issues.
All year round. 4-5 months on road and Two rallies a month when home!
What’s winter?
I live in upstate NY and store my MH at home. It’s systems are winterized but I do take it out once in a while if the weather is nice and it’s not too cold (above 30 degrees). Earlier in this pandemic, it was our portable dining room. We’d go to a restaurant, get their take-out meal, and eat it in their parking lot. We brought hand wipes and even a bedside commode if we needed it.
Almost to our destination in southern Arizona after 1700 mi drive
My wife and I love to winter camp. For several years we used it at ski resorts. Some use to allow you to stay in their parking lot if you purchased a lift pass. One of my “bucket list” items is to camp in Yellowstone in January. Mamma says, “I don’t think so”. 😅
They say the Mammoth campground is open year around. But all the others are closed in the winter. You can ride into the park on a snowmobile, however!
We live in north Texas where the weather is crazy. It was 70 yesterday and on Wednesday it’s going to be 17 with ice or snow. That’s Texas!! We store ours at home in a garage, but we use it in the winter months. We are departing our rock and stick home this month to go to Heritage Motor Coach Resort and Marina in Gulf shores/ Orange beach Alabama. We have stayed at this resort twice. Last year they were still repairing the docks and club house and office from Hurricane Sally. You can rent a boat from the resort if you choose to go out on the gulf. Looking forward to the beach, hopefully it will be nice.
I use mine more in the winter than the summer.
FT since 5/9/06. Houston for this winter
it all depends on the meaning of ‘use’. Do I go camping? I will if the weather is warm enough. but I often use it as a vehicle for tailgates and other similar activities. It’s winterized (water lines drained, blown down and antifreezed) but it’s still a comfortable enough vehicle to use as I need..
Live in The Artic; Well, so it seems!! Next to it anyway. So Wrap RV up & Store for Winter!!
Always greets me in the Spring with a Smile & then hands me “The List”!!
Seems to know HRH real well too!! Hmmm > something wrong with this picture!!
Mine is locked and sets in my driveway awaiting the buds of Spring when it to will open and prepare to roam the highways.
We store it at home – Oct – thru Mar – with “another” winter storm watch for tomorrow and Tuesday and -32f to -35f ambient air temp for Thurs. I don’t believe we will be using it!!!
We are full-time as of 09/15/05, so we are in it and headed to Quartzite tomorrow.
Depends on where you are in the winter. I’m in Arizona using my RV so I’ll store it some in the summer (and use it). Do a poll to find out here many snow birds there are.
Store it at home, but ready to go on a moment’s notice.
There wasn’t a “depends” choice. Some winters we take it to our Arizona winter home, some years we store it.
Took a trip in January and have a long one scheduled for March. Normally would also go in February, but are in the process of trading ours on a new one and trying to keep the mileage from increasing much before the transaction actually occurs — mid-May?
Checked use it normally, but it is in storage now as we are in the process of moving.
