Getting the motor home out next week and prepping it for a week long trip in the snow. We plan on parking it in our friend's RV size driveway staying in it at night and seeing the sights during the day with our friends. I need to get it ready for some cold temps. Last year the average night time temp was 16 degrees and the daytime temp was 32 degrees. I wrapped the exterior sewer pipes with insulation and all of my water lines are not exposed. I have heated black and grey tanks and my fresh water tank has a furnace line that goes to it to keep the water from freezing including the fresh water pump. I recently bought an insulated cover for the door window and have the same for the windshield and front side windows as well as a curtain between the cab and the coach. Our friends have a 30 amp RV outlet that we will be using while parked. I still need to top off our propane tank before heading out the end of December. We plan on staying 7 days so the propane should not be an issue. We also use an electric portable heater inside most of the time. Our grandson loves the snow and is looking forward to another trip to Utah. We will not be towing our car with us on this trip since our friends have transportation. On the way up and way back, we will spend a night at the Casa Blanca Casino RV Park in Mesquite Nevada.
