Dewinterizing roll call

OK folks, it is now or soon will be dewinterizing time for many of us. Check in here when you dewinterize so we can all catch that camping fever!

I'm very jealous. We still have freezing temps and snow storms in the forecast.

Dewinterized ours about 3 weeks ago and already have 6 nights in it. Still drain and blow all my lines out when I leave, but think the hard freezes are behind us. At least I'm hoping so..

You Southerners are able to enjoy a much longer camping season.

That snow your having in Calgary is heading ( Hopefully not down to Bellingham ). Enough is enough of this cold and rainy weather. But who an I to complain, back east is a nightmare.

Sat in my rig hoping next week is the week after a dusting of snow again today. Planning on heading south to see our DD and break in the new 5'er. Winter has been way too long up here but prepping with enthusiasm. Hope you are all doing the same very soon!

Not for another month. Still below freezing every night so DW isn't leaving the house.

I would love to de-winterize our TT, but the temps and all the snow still on the ground has delayed that task.
The good news is, I will not de-winterize the 25RKS this year, because we are trading-in that unit on April 18th and taking delivery on our new 2013 Eagle 314BDS!!
This will be the one time that I will be glad NOT to de-winterize the TT!!!

I've come really close to bringing it home and de-winterizing just so I can see it in the driveway for a couple days!

I'm going to have to spend the entire week before our first trip getting ready. De-winterizing, cleaning out FW system, installing some lights, inspecting the entire trailer... I have about 25 items on my to do list and I'm still 4 weeks out!

This afternoon I'll be dewinterizing the new TT to take it on its maiden voyage for a few days close to home. Couldn't get the DW to spend the first nite in the driveway so we'll go to a CG about an hour away and close to CW in case we need to stop by the dealer. Not real camping but a few days to relax and check out all the systems. Supposed to be 65-70 this weekend in NM so I'm feeling bad for you all still in the snow and cold temps.
Hope you get to go soon!
