I'm taking delivery of a 2014 25' Flying Cloud this Thursday. I'm planning on hitting the road for 6 weeks or so, sticking to a basically southern route (the Southeast, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.). I will need to take 2 sidetrips to Colorado (where it will undoubtedly be below freezing).
The FC will be delivered to me winterized and it will be in storage for a few days in the NC mountains where temps WILL get below freezing.
Once I start heading South, and into warmer climes, should I de-winterize the trailer or leave it winterized? About the only places guaranteed not to have below freezing weather in November and December are South Texas and southern Arizona, though I suspect the freezing weather I will most likely encounter will be, at the coldest, in the high 20's and at night provided I steer clear of Northern NM and Northern AZ.
Assuming I leave the trailer winterized, I can use its black water capabilities, correct? I will just have to carry water on board for drinking, dishes, etc. and would have to shower somewhere on the road. If I do leave it winterized, would I be able to utilize water hook-ups at commercial campgrounds without having to de-winterize/re-winterize?
I plan on temporarily storing the unit somewhere around Las Cruces, NM and driving my RAM 1500 TV to Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving and again over Christmas, to see my mother. Per the folks in Las Cruces, they do get freezing weather, so it would be winterized (either in its initial purchased state or a re-winterization) while in storage.
I bought this trailer to utilize all if its conveniences. OTOH, the last thing I want to deal with is burst pipes.
If anyone has traveled through this part of the US during this time of the year, I'd be grateful for any advice on how to best proceed.
