We feel your pain. Got our new TT after trading in the pup. We have not used it yet unless you count our backyard. We live in upstate NY..wont be using it again untill May when we head out for our first trip of the season. Every once in a while..I go out and open the camper door, peek inside, take a wiff of the new trailer smell and tell her we will see her soon.

I know what you mean, our Jayco sits 60 feet from our house. I have to see it everytime I leave home & come back.

Today the grandson and I went to our membership campground and golf course to bring the golf cart back for winter storage and while there, we talked to a couple of campers enjoying the last warm weekend we will see for a while. Sure was tough to go there and not set up the RV, load up the fire pit, start the charcoal grill, etc. etc. C'mon April.

Yep, sad here too. We got a used 165 Sport, serviced it, winterized it and put her in storage before we got to use it :-(
I look at the picture just to dream about going from Ohio to California next April.

I always have that "itch" to go outside, and I'm glad I haven't winterized yet, because it's supposed to hit 67 degrees today--mid-November in Michigan!! We have another trip planned for late November, when it will probably not get above 40. Then it's time to put the pink stuff in the stink stuff.

We managed to squezze in one more camping trip in this week-end. We didn't plan to go camping but, when I heard the weather forecast, I said let's go! Temps were in the 70's and beautiful blue skies!

Good thing too, the weatherman says we could get some snow/rain mix in the morning!

Got winterized this past weekend and trailer put in the storage garage. We usually camp in the garage a couple times a winter (garage has running water and heated comfort room). Have Boy Scout camping this weekend!

It is not hard to winterize, only takes a few minutes. Kitty and I scratch our "itch" during the winter. We have always enjoyed camping in the winter. Fewer people, and more wildlife. Last weekend, we were the only campers in the park, if you don't count the herd of Mule Deer as White Tails. Living here in Okla, I don't put a lot of effort into winterizing. Drain the water heater, blow out the water lines with air, and anti-freeze the p-traps. Thus far that seems to work.

We winterized ours in September, just several days before a hard freeze. But we're heading for AZ soon for the winter. Hooked it up and towed it about 50 miles to CW Friday for minor fixes. It felt good just to have it back there for a while!
