Winter travel with the family, safe?

[Arcticfox]

We transit from Canada and back again in the early spring with the furnace operating. We set it low while traveling during the day and then about an hour before we plan on stopping for the night we increase the heat a bit so it's toasty warm when we want to bed down for the night.

Just watch your weather reports and watch for systems that might be coming across your path. If you run into weather, just pull over and wait it out.....

Hope this helps

Cheers
Doug

This winter is supposed to be a wuss compared to last year's fanny freezer. Take it easy and you'll be okay. Avoid getting on the road at the crack of stupid and let the world warm up a bit before you leave in the morning. Traffic will dry the road unless it is actively snowing/raining. Allow some leeway time wise to sit out any nasties. Wash the rig at a truck stop when you get home and all should be well.

Update:

Airstream is loaded up, hitched and we leave (entire family) at 4am.

I am just downloading the route in to the Garmin, need to pack up my computer and have a whisky.

One the road we go.

We are. What a treat the weather has been.

We did the trip down in 2 days stopping in NC at a Walmart. I actually would have done it in 3 because I like to stop in state parks. But the gang wanted to go for it.

Funny thing is, we are camping in a neighborhood of multimillion dollar homes on the last vacant parcel of waterfront land on the intercostal waterway. I guess Celine Dion has a house here.

Thanks for all the advice on this Thread. All that is left to do is enjoy some time off then head home. The bonus is I am still married.

Enjoy! Glad you made it down alright. Getting here is good. Getting back... not that important!
