Highs in the thirties. Single digit lows.
Bill, remember backpacking? You could carry a three-season tent or a
four-season tent. We always used three-season tents. Four-season tents
cost more, and were heavier to carry, but they were designed to accommodate
winter conditions. We chose not to backpack in winter conditions.
I think we're driving a three-season tent. Motorhomes are perfect for three
out of the four seasons, but winter is a stretch. We have furnaces, and we
can keep warm, but it's not like being in a house. There is some insulation
in the walls, and maybe in the floor, and all the windows are double pane
except the windshield, but there are drafts. When I sit at the dinette
table to work, my feet are in the slideout section. I don't think the floor
of the living room slide is insulated.
I don't know if the winter weather issues can be solved by spending more
money on the motorhome. We talked to the guy in the Prevost and he was
complaining about the cold and drafts. He spent a million dollars on his
motorhome and still thinks it is drafty in the cold! Imagine that.
Know what else? Small price to pay for what we get. We'll get through the
winter with the three-season tent just fine.
The job is going well.
