Terier,

We stay at Pechanga Casino RV Park. It's a little pricey ($45 with GS discount) but it's close to our relatives and very clean. Has all the amenities - pool, hot tub, etc. The casino itself is huge with many dining options.

While mine looks put away I never think of it as that I think of it as just waiting for another modification. Next year it will be moving still this time of year in search of somewhere warmer.

Down here in swamp central, it's just now getting camping season. Got a big one planned next weekend.

I have spent today cleaning and winterizing the boat. Now have to bring the tt up and start cleaning it for next weekend.

I am glad LSU has their bye week next Saturday so I can relax. They about did me in last night, and from what I read, somebody did have a heart attack at the game last night. RIP

Being that we live in Wisconsin, we put the camper in hibernation for the season. Some day we will have the luxury of camping year round......until then...we close up in the fall.

Never have to stop camping or winterize in the sunshine state.

We live in NE and winterized last weekend. So sad!!!
Our unit is at a year round camping spot at Fort Randall Dam in Sd...we spend most of the spring and summer up there since we enjoy walleye fishing. We are both retired and I am wondering WHY are we not heading south?? Oh, I forgot.....we do not have a truck to tow it with....lmbo

Up here in Southern New England you never know what your weather is going to be like this time of year. But a few things are definite. The time change will mean it will get dark by 5:15. That puts a damper on those Friday evening setups. Plus, whose going to rake up all these damn leaves???

Not a chance. We've been winter camping for 10 years now and have no intentions of stopping. Just winterized for the first time today, since we use our water system all year round, this is just the first winterization of many for the winter.

I just retired a month ago. We go where the weather suits our clothes and DW prefers shorts. 😊

My next trip is scheduled for the last week in December to Myrtle Beach. Lines are blown out and TT is covered until then. Usually winterize several times during the winter when the opportunity to go somewhere comes up.

We had to winterize our trailer a bit early this year since we’re leaving in 6 days for our Panama Canal adventure and won’t be back until mid-November. We don’t want to run the risk of St. Louis experiencing freezing temps while we’re out of the country.

We, often, get spurts of warmer weather here in the Rockies and we've talked about getting the TT out and going down to southern Texas or New Mexico or Arizona for a fun winter trip! (4-5 days)

Hopefully I can find the time off of work!!

Midatlantic camper here- we have 2 weekend trips planned and then I'll blow out the lines. After this, we have a warm weather (1,200 mile) trip planned to Key West for 2-ish weeks. I'll put pink stuff in after that trip and button her up until March or April.

Wow ependydad probably feels like ages ago you booked that key west trip. Can't wait to hear about it.

Thanks for sharing. I have heard about this campground but I keep forgetting about it. $45 with full hookups is not bad compared to CA state parks with hookups. My sister is an avid Bingo player and wants me to go with her. I said I would compromise - she can play Bingo and I can camp.

We are just cranking up the camping since it isn't 100 deg out anymore and if it snows here its gone by noon the next day. If a bad cold front comes by like 20 deg. its gone in a week so we winterize and dewinterize on and off during the winter here.

Yeah, we can't wait. Having 70+ nights of camping helped tide the time over. We're now trying to finagle a evening to WDW/Magic Kingdom in on the drive down since the kids have done really well with travel. We aren't sure if it'll work out, though.

Here's out site in Key West.
