We need to get ours winterized and I’ve been putting it off, because it makes us sad. We have a house for ours, it’s insulated but not heated. We totally understand your pain.

I'm headed out next month for a CC Thanksgiving rally. Then I'll put some heat in it when it starts getting down to freezing, usually late Jan or Feb. But still keep it ready to go.

Been doing that for the past 17 years. It's always hard putting the coach away for the season, but the fun is using that time to plan next season's trips & catching up on entering my reviews for the past season!

I know right...! A sad day indeed.
Yep summer is over and I can feel your pain. We don't experience the wicked winters you guys do and still enjoy most of our winter months with little pain. But yes, it will be alright. Your MH will be there when the flowers begin to blossom next spring and another 6 months of asphalt awaits you.
Take heart my friend, Take heart!

We are planning on at least two more weekender outings, then use the coach over Thanksgiving as a extra bed space for our neighbors parents....(I think at his age he's pondering letting go of his 5er & getting a Newell or a Foretravel)

I feel your pain. We winterized ours just a few weeks ago; but we keep our DP in the driveway plugged in. We break the long winter dormant period with a trip to Florida every January for three weeks.

Live in it full time as we do and you'll never need to winterize again!
