Back in 2016, we wrote a post on the process we go through to Winterize our Keystone Hideout. We figured it was probably time for us to also document our process of de-winterization. While our RV has changed to a Winnebago Minnie Plus since the winterization post, the process is still the same. The goal of our de-winterization process is to prepare the water system for the season by purging all the antifreeze that was put in at the end…
With the warmer weather hitting the Salt Lake area we were bursting at the seams to go camping. This time of year can always be a bit tricky as we get random snow storms but with a little bit of luck, you can de-winterize and hit the road. For us, Zion National Park was calling our name and on March 13th we received about seven inches of snow at our house. But we didn’t let that foil our plans and we de-winterized…
Back in 2016, we wrote a post on winterizing our Keystone Hideout. Being one of the most popular posts on our blog, we figured it would be good to create the same type of post for our Winnebago Minnie Plus 27BHSS.

Let’s face it, dumping the tanks is not the most glamorous part of RVing but it is something that we all have to do. For as much as people don’t like to talk about the process the topic that comes up frequently.

We discovered that if Lily can track our progress along a route, she is much more content. Basic Map of Our Route With Milestones Our first iteration of the follow along map was really basic. If you followed the advice of our blog post titled Finding Our Way,…
When we got a pickup truck, our entire camping setup changed. The ability to transport and store items in the bed is awesome and frankly something that we would never be without again. A big challenge though has been accessing that gear while hooked up to the trailer as the tailgate hits the tongue jack when its lowered.
