Temperature requiring winterizing
We live in Quebec. The temperature at the moment goes down to just below freezing at night. We will be leaving once the US border opens to take our AS south. Do we need, in the interim, to winterize for temperatures just below freezing? (-4 degrees celsius - 25 to 30 degrees F)

The price of failure is just too high, compared to the inconvenience of winterizing. I would do it.

If your in it and have heated water hoses, no issue. If it’s parked, I agree with the others. For the past two weeks we have been in Angle Fire, NM at 8300’ and with temps as low as 13f….zero issues in a ‘21 Classic 33.

Temperature requiring winterizing
Between now and November 8, who knows what temps will be. Don’t ruin your trip, it’s difficult to get service, everyone is super booked.

Cost of a gallon of RV antifreeze $5.00, cost of an hour at a RV Repair Facility $100+! Take your chances or pay your money!

It depends. If you can keep your trailer plugged in to keep the batteries charged, I might be inclined to turn the furnace on at night with the temperature set to 10C with doors and lockers opened to allow circulation. This is what I have done in the past with no problems. FWIW, the Weather Network forecasts lows only down to 0C by next Friday.
My condolence on the loss of Charlie. :-)
