Why You Might Need to Winterize an RV Being Stored in Arizona
I am new to RVing... I just purchased a 2006 Class C Fleetwood Tioga.
My question is regarding the need to winterize my RV in Arizona weather? Low temps can get to 32 degrees sometimes in the mornings of December/January. Most concerns here are about covering plants to protect against frost.
I didn't think I would need to winterize the RV since winters here are nothing like the winters we experienced in the Midwest (Indiana).
Thank you,
Dave
ANSWER: Hi Dave my answer is maybe. I am not trying to be wishy-washy here, but depending on what part of Arizona you are storing your RV in; you may very well have to winterize it to prevent damage to its plumbing.
Many RVers from Canada and the colder parts of the U.S. head south for the winter, Because of their habit of migrating south for the winter they have acquired the nickname of "Snowbirds".
Some of the favorite destinations for Snowbirds are Florida, Texas, Georgia, Southern California and of course Arizona. Some Snowbirds migrate even further south into Mexico.
So you would think that since Arizona is a prime Snowbird destination that you would never need to winterize an RV. Well, the key here is Location, Location, Location and Altitude, Altitude, Altitude.
