How do you make waiting for spring more bearable?

So, even though Spring is officially here, Winter is clearly sticking around for a few more weeks.

What do you do to while you wait for Spring to come around and take your camper out?

I've already made a list of everything I need to purchase and improvements I want to do this summer, including prioritizing and budgets. I've booked my appointment to have my awning repaired, it was damaged during the last weekend out in the Fall. Last weekend, I shoveled all around my camper to make sure I can pull it out and bring it to the dealer to get the awning repaired in a few weeks.

What about you all?

Hockey. Only thing a good Canadian boy can do to wait for spring.

Going to hook the battery up this weekend and get my shoreline hooked up. I want to get a better battery box before our first trip on Memorial Day weekend. Other than that....she’s ready to go. The snow has melted here, but it’s been darn cold.

I have a plethora of other spring time projects. No garage here so I have to wait for nice days and daylight to work on things. Plus my friends keep me busy too with their projects. This year its 4 wheelers, mowers and car repair mostly and trailer re-wires. I spent a lot of time in coveralls and sweatshirts trying to stay warm. Trying to get them all done before the good camping season starts so I don't feel guilty about going.

I'll file my taxes and get that refund instead of just making a list of things I'd like to do to it.

Around this time of the year is when we plan our year's worth of camping trips -- preplanning is a necessity for us -- and researching campsites. So that's starting to get me in the camping mood. And counting the days until April 28, when I get the trailer out of storage. Then it's three weeks of restocking and maintenance until our first trip.

It's only about 10 minutes from home to the storage yard, so occasionally I stop by and stare at the trailer longingly through the fence....

We camp for 3 weeks in Florida, 1 week in S. Georgia and another week on a Georgia lake. Then it's time to start spring camping.

There’s still someone at home in Canada?
From what we saw in Ft Meyers and Lakeland I’d assumed they were all there

I like to see how stuck I can get in the snow

Well, I said screw it and I'm pulling the camper out of storage tomorrow. Going to book a full week at a nearby state park and break in the new season.

I haven't posted here in months, as me and my camper hibernate, but I can't take it anymore. Taking my new drone along with me to get some nice video of the surrounding mountains. I'll re-winterize when I get home.

There is no offseason here. We just get busier around the holidays and travelball slows down.

Drive my DW crazy, and go hiking as much as possible!

Second day of spring and we just finished snow blowing 10" of snow off the driveway and sidewalks!! Weather permitting we try to take the RV for a 8-10 mile run just to give it some exercise every couple weeks. We've reserved 5 Campgrounds so far for 2018, fun planning for the summer ahead. Always reading posts on this site and others looking for ideas and advice. We purchased RV Trip Wizard and are using to plan trips. It's a great tool.

I ordered a new trailer, so now that's all I think about instead of the lack of spring.

TheB2B · 03-21-2018, 08:47 PM

Taking the TT to local tire shop for new rubber, working on my punch list of items to complete in the TT before head out for first long trip this summer and finally or rather firstly, planning the summers trips in the depth of winter. Oh yea, endless foot tapping and looking out the window with a cup of coffee in hand.

**norty1** · 03-22-2018, 05:09 AM

I do keep a running list of small things that need attention when we are camping.

If you have access to the rig at home it's nice to have a punch list instead of relying on my memory.
