South of the snow ..

[zboy59]

I'm contemplating taking my 'bird South in December (from Michigan) and parking
it somewhere and then coming back in February ... running around the South for a
bit ... then parking it and leaving it until spring.

Does anyone else out there do this ?

Can someone give me a recommendation on how far south I should take it to be
able to leave it (without being heated) and not run into issues with weather
from December to February ?

Should I look at a storage facility ? Or just take it to a RV park and try to
negotiate a low/no use parking rate ?

First time at this ... I'd appreciate any comments via email martys@...
is great !

further south than Georgia if you don't plan to heat it at all

You just may be starting something new. Imagine, snow birds? Actually, tens of thousands of our northern neighbors leave the snowbelt every fall and "winter" in AZ, TX, or FL. Most of them return to the same place they spent the previous winter, and make (and pay for) reservations a year in advance. Winter time is "high season" in those places, and getting what you are asking for may not even be available for this coming winter. You need to winterize your bird just like you were going to keep it in Michigan unless you get far enough south that freezing temperatures are highly unlikely to occur. In FL, that generally means south of I-4. Snowbird season runs from Thanksgiving through Easter. Bring money!

I don't know who runs it, but there's a ludicrously huge RV and other toy storage lot in Sun City where my father in law keeps his rv and boat and I don't think he pays much at all.

You can bring it to our place. We can plug it in, also. Will be a lot cheaper then a rvpark. Beside, we kinda know about birds Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 Wanderlodge Weatherford, Tx 817-475-3991 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/erni...gandrepair --- On Mon, 11/16/09, zboy59 wrote: From: zboy59 Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] South of the snow ..

I would stay at or south of east west I4 Tampa Orlando.
There are many RV parks with parking storage also many storage facilities,
depends on location & price you are willing to pay.

Even though it is 100 miles further south Tucson normally averages a little colder than Phoenix due to higher elevation. The weather forecasts for the citrus growers generally talk about how far below freezing the temp is expected to go and how long it will stay there i.e. an hour at 30 degrees wouldn't be as likely to cause a problem as 4 hours at 28 degrees. I think the Bird is well enough insulated to be pretty safe in either location.
