I uncovered her today

Well, I had to uncover her today because my 1 yr warranty runs out next week and we are supposed to get a foot of snow Weds. I would not have been able to remove the cover for several weeks with snow on the cover. Due to the extreme cold we had this winter I wanted to open everything up and make sure that the linoleum didn't separate/crack. I have read about this problem too often to take a chance. Fortunately all is well. Now if we can get rid of the snow and cold, I'll be all set. It has been a year, no leaks, no major issues and I am a happy Keystone owner.

Uncovered mine yesterday - had to climb on the roof and shovel snow to get the cover off! Then shovel more to get it out of the location it was in!

Fortunately, the snow and cold do not seem to have done any harm. I hooked up an electricity supply to get the refrigerator running, check the stove and furnace - all good! I think I will put a small space heater inside to warm it up a little before we leave for Florida on Monday!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Exsailor, go ahead and rub it in LOL Just remember, in July and August when you're inside your camper because it's too hot to go outside until almost dark, we'll all be enjoying the 80* weather around the campfire, adult beverage in hand and thinking about you <wink> LOL

Of course, a couple months after that, we'll all be winterizing again while you drain your tanks......

I'm guessing the crappie are schooling up next to the banks about now. That's one part of the "southern spring" that I do miss, but what comes later in the summer isn't a part I looked forward to enduring......
