Welcome Jewelstech. Why don't you join TAC (The Airstreamer's Club). We have four members in Utah and are always looking for more.

Hello Jewelstech, I'm in Salt Lake and I bought my A/S over a year ago, I've not used it yet. I bought a project and got more of one than I thought. I won't be much help for another year probably, but I'd be very careful about winter camping with water in the pipes.

Click on "Member Search" in the blue column to the left of the browser page. You can search for all owners in Utah there. Good luck!

Check out the Four Corners Unit of WBCCI for great times with fellow Airstreamers! We'd be happy to have some more folks from Utah!

I'm from Davis County. Owned an Airstream since 2003. Never camped in the "winter", but was at Fish Lake on Memorial Day one year and 6" of snow full one night! Unless you have heated tanks I wouldn't venture out for the hard core winter camping, but October and November are real nice down south, say Zions. Less people, beautiful sunsets against the red rock...can't beat it! If you're questioning whether to get an Airstream vs. SOB trailer, hands down, Airstream. There's a crazy thread that's active out on the forums now about 'why Airstream'....check it out. Good luck in your decisions. If you want more info, let me know.

Jewelstech,

I'm here in Salt Lake City and have owned my Airstream for 3 years now. I have not done any true winter camping. I have been out as late as the end of October and love the late season. The parks are less crowded, and the Airstream is great when it gets a little chilly at night. I was tempted by southern Utah this spring, just did not make it. I'm thinking Zions in February or March would be really nice.

Hello Jewelstech, I live in Layton. Have owned a 1969 Ambassador for almost twenty years. Plenty of year round use--no problems as we go dry in real cold weather. Regards.

Hi Jewelstech,
There is a branch of the WBBCI unit in Utah. I am a past president. The present president can be reached by email at Glenn@glenn.net. He lives in Utah county. Some one earlier commented on winter camping. Our practice in prior years were to travel to Mesquite, de-winterize the unit and head on south. My wife of 62 years suffered a minor stroke in May 2009. So our trailer is now for sale. But have happy camping.

Older post, do we have more Airstreamers in Utah?

If you are a winter camper previously, then there is no reason you can't do so in an Airstream, basically you're looking at a very roomy, well appointed, heated tent. You don't give the impression of looking to full-time live in it, so you should be fine. With the interior heated, you can "carry" water and just sponge bathe.
