Circumstances will have us living fulltime in our new Passport 2850RL beginning this Friday 3/30. We will be just a few miles down the road from our home in Massachusetts.
Despite wonderful weather the past week or so, we are expecting more seasonable temps for the first week to ten days of the month. High temps will vary from 63 to 43 and lows will range from 31 to 40. I remember being told that the rule of thumb is not to de-winterize until temps are consistently above 40. That said, the campground has turned the water back on and I would really like to be able to shower in the camper and have use of the indoor plumbing.
So the question: do ya think I'm safe to de-winterize? Since we are going to be camping in it, we will likely have the furnace running at night. Should I wrap the fresh water hose? Is it necessary to do that?
Thoughts, suggestions, ideas all welcome!
