Hello, everyone...and thanks for your time and feedback.
We're soon to winterize/store our TT for the first time. We live in an area of Western PA with very quirky winter weather...the freeze/thaw cycle is becoming increasingly wild. We've had everything from "fully leafed out deciduous trees in early March" to "polar vortex patterns with -10F temps and -47F wind chills".
We found a facility nearby that used to be a limestone mine, but is now used to store boats/RVs/cars/etc.
I'm pretty sure that we want to store our TT there over the winter instead of subjecting it to 4 months of freeze/thaw.
The cost is reasonable, and reviews are positive.
I was wondering, so that I can set my expectations accordingly...has anyone ever done this before?
Would you still bother with a cover for your TT? At 52 degrees inside the mine, it wouldn't be necessary to fully "winterize", but would you still do anything besides completely drain everything? Damp-Rid for the inside? Some kind of pest-repellant that would neither cause rotting rodents inside (poison) nor make the inside of the TT smell bad?
Any other considerations? Thanks!
