Winterize my T@B in Tucson??

LisaTucson

This is my first winter with my T@B. I store my camper outside covered. Do I need to winterize my camper in Tucson, AZ? How low in temps can I go without winterizing? I’m hoping I don’t have to as I do plan on taking some trips since I’m already in the sunny/warm SW. Thanks for any insights you may have.

Looks like occasionally it gets below freezing there...  like last December (30F).  Likely colder rapidly as you move out from the city center.

The issue is how long will the freezing temps last.  Here are some threads that talk about this:

@LisaTucson,  I camped southwest of Tucson for most of last winter, and I never winterized. As long as you stay under 2,000’ in elevation, you should be OK. 

But, if the forecast is for temps below 30* for over 7 hrs, I would seriously think about winterizing.

Hey @Verna, Good to know! Thank you and hope to see you this winter. Safe travels.
