Put camper into hibernation

It's a sad day today in that I had to put the camper to bed for the season (winterized...). Many fun trips this year but afraid freezing temp starting next week.
Here's to next year...:thumbup:

I feel your pain....see you are in MN, so I know exactly what you are going through when it comes to winter! Too bad our winter season is so long!!!!
Hope you fed it before putting it in hibernation!

Goodness.

88 is high today, and next several. Freeze might happen in January....for a day or two.

Camper is in shop now, but winterizing?? Not till maybe late December, when deer season is over. Maybe not then.......lots of good fishing days in January.

I hate when camping season is over but now I get to look forward to winter sports. Just different things to do outside.

Our baby's new heated home. No winterizing. Just thinking about all the money I will save on pink juice! Yes I can rationalize anything!

I was all ready to winterize mine but a last minute outing has come so winterizing has been put off until the first week in November. As a precaution against an unexpected overnight freeze, I have been blowing the air out of the lines and emptying the water heater until I can winterize properly.
