Time to Winterize

We love our new travel trailer and can't believe how easy it is to do everything. The idea of pushing a button to light the hot water heater, made things simple. We also liked the fact that we could have the fridge going on electric, and when we disconnected the cord it automatically lit on propane. These are things I've always sold, but never experienced until now. We're glad we got the power tongue jack, it made hooking up a breeze, and was worth the extra money.
On Sunday morning when we woke up we had no water. The outside hose was actually frozen at the spigot. Once we thawed it- no problems. But, this reminder was good as it forced us to winterize our trailer this week.
If you haven't done it yet drain all your tanks and have us winterize your trailer. If you do it on your own, don't forget to winterize outside water as well as toilet fittings. It's not unusual for people to forget these. Also, take your battery off, and put it in your house or basement where it will not freeze. This will help to extend the life of the battery. If you have a pop up trailer I recommend taking off the awning an storing it in the trailer or garage. Tilt down the front of the trailer so that when snow lands on it, it will melt off.
Last, but not least, hope for a short winter so that we can go camping again!

Driveway Camping

We camped in our driveway this past weekend. (As Scott says, "cleanest bathrooms in town, and a stocked store just a door away.") Had to laugh, it rained,- it always rains when we go out! Everything worked like a charm,- or how it should work. We turned on the airconditioner, and popped a breaker in the house within the first five minutes of being in the trailer. I would think our learning curve would be faster than the average camper, but we tend to make all the common mistakes. When we got up in the morning our awning was sagged a bit from the rain because we didn't have it tilted enough, and we thought the bathroom light was bad because the we hit the switch on the light as well as the switch on the wall. Regardless, we had fun, and plan on going out this weekend. We thought we would try a nearby campground, and go for the weekend. This way we can experience first hand all the fun associated with towing, leveling, and dumping! Will let you know how it goes.
