It gets down to freezing, but not very often.

Here are the temps...

https://www.usclimatedata.com/climat...tates/usms0033

We're (in NH) about 25 at night, and 40 in the warmer parts of the day. An occasional drop to freezing won't bother me in the slightest.

Last winter (January) we were in NC for a while visiting friends. Sudden cold snap for a few days brought the temps down to 10 degrees. Everything froze up (but no damage) as we were in our Winnebago Era which has exposed plumbing. This year it will be the Ambassador so we likely won't have any issues at all.

Your going to be in for a surprise........the famcamp has wifi which is great.....but what they do is provide you with an actual Verizon jet pack. At least that is what they provided us while at the park.
It was great to use in the park, and than we found out it could used anywhere as long as we had it with us while out and about. We use a jet pack from Verizon while rving.......this saved us a lot of our own gigs.
Lots to see, and don't forget to drop a couple of quarters in those slots........good luck

That WiFi setup sounds interesting... I absolutely need WiFi whenever possible.

As for the slots, we're a couple of hours north of Mohegan Sun in CT, billed as the world's largest. My DW is well known there!

Well we arrived. All is reasonably well, but trying to wedge a 40+ ft class A into a space designed for a much smaller rig was an experience. Think I'll start measuring spaces first. Big issue was a tree that leaned into the approach and would not allow us to drive through. So we ended up backing in, which took some work as well as the angles were not the best. Tomorrow I go on the roof and prune the trees that are touching the roof.

Enjoyed the BX/Commissary, it is comparable with MacDill's. Have not done anything else at the base yet.

Got our cable box (not working yet, probably not connected right but may have to call the cable company...) and the WiFi box (working!).

George, George, George of the the Jungle watch out for that tree!! Your latest comment reminded on the $1800 damage to my paint when I didn't watch out for that tree.
