My son and I took our new Pleasure Way Ontour 2.2 for a three day trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We stopped for the first night in the northern lower peninsula and then proceeded to Tahquamenon State Park in the U.P. The nights were typically about 8f and the days 25f. The roads on the way up were somewhat snowy. The Ontour performed very well . It drove well and kept us comfortable w/o any need for supplemental heat. We did some snowshoeing and explored the Eben Ice Cave. Michigan keeps about 10 state parks open in the winter. The sites are plowed and electricity (30a or 50a) is available. The pump houses in the parks are kept warm so water is available if needed at a tap. Our RV is winterized and so we carried water containers. I also removed the flush toilet (no water to flush) for the winter and replaced it with a porta potty. It was an all around good trip.

Thanks for the winter memories, I will pass. My memories of yesterday's 82, here in SC, sitting outside sipping a chilled cup of wine are way better for me these days.
Looks like a good time for you tho.
