I live in Deerwood, just east of Brainerd. I've never run the 78 FC33 in the winter except to move it for snowplowing. Quartzite has tempted me for years. Now it looks like we might make it in the newer 99 LXi43. I don't have a good feel for the winter capabilities of the Bird. I really appreciate all your advice about the tanks and basement.

We want to get to Quartzite without "drying camping" for the first few days out of Minnesota. Temps this morning were -30. We're hoping for the 20's by the time we leave next week.
