Yeah, I think that our total time spent at the RV specifically doing a FL one-night version of winterizing was maybe an hour and a couple of jugs of antifreeze. The rest was moving the van to and from the dump station, unplugging the van and then re-connecting it, double-checking to make sure we hadn't forgotten anything, like lowering the window shades to minimize heat loss, chatting with our next door storage neighbor with a very nice LTV Wonder RTB who was doing the same thing as us, etc. It wasn't particularly hard work, just had to be done, and we'll sleep better knowing we did the best we could. We'll know how well we did very soon, because on Tuesday we're going out for a quick one-night camping trip that we scheduled before we knowing this one-night cold snap would be blasting through. Hopefully, the Manatees we intend to see will make it through tonight as well. They get cold stressed pretty easily, and this could be a tough night for them if things don't go right.

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle

We are about 120 west of Tallahassee. We keep the Airstream out in the alley behind the house. We have never winterized our Airstream. We have had cold snaps like this before, and we have never had a problem.
