Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

When to Un-Winterize - Midwest


I bought a Class A RV this past Fall so I am a newbie going into 2016.  I wanted to get an idea of when to Un-Winterize my RV.  I am located in IL so if there is anyone in the midwest it would be good to know what your opinion is on this.  I want to start using my RV as soon as  I can.  

 

My thoughts are sometime in Mid to late March.  Whats everyone's opinion on this?

We are in Iowa, and our feeling is usually when freezing temps at night are no longer likely.

A Lot depends on where you are at in Illinois. You may be able to get the info you need at Weatherbase  http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/state.php3?c=US&s=&countryname=United-States 

You definitely don't want to un-winterize too early. Freezing can damage a lot of your plumbing.

We purchased our RV at the end of last summer and were wondering when it would be safe to un-winterize also. We had 75° temp yesterday so we took the motorhome to the lake for the day. For the last 16 years we have been using a pop-up with no shower so the winterizing was minimal. We have company coming in the middle of March and was thinking of using the shower in the RV. If i had to I could leave the RV out of storage at home plugged in with the heat on until we have warmer temps. We live in central Kansas and just can't wait to get this summer started.
