I'm near Portland OR. I was going to winter by Phoenix, as usual, and had planned to drive there this weekend. However, my neighbors sold their condo in Florida and need to go back to close on the sale and load up their furniture to bring here from Tampa to an apartment. So I'm staying to cat sit, which I love doing. As long as I'm already here, and I really like this park and this area, I figured I'd stay and try to RV someplace colder than Phoenix this winter.
I have three heating systems. I have the outside water hose and riser covered with foam and foam lined foil. Tomorrow I'll get a styrofoam helmet at Home Depot for the top of the riser where the handle sticks up. CampingWorld recommends a cup of pink antifreeze in the holding tanks, which I can do; although, they're both well insulated and can be heated. I prefer the antifreeze approach. Somehow, cooking the stuff in the holding tanks doesn't appeal.
I don't use fresh water in that tank. It's always empty. It's inside under the couch. I assume water sitting in the water heater, which is actually inside, will be OK.
The next three nights will be down in the upper 20s, and after that we're back up in the 40s at night for now.
Any other winter prep?
Vehicles were serviced Thursday.

P.S. Got some neat new long underwear, down jacket and vest. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's Portland, not Juneau.
