Having a Bl@st!

We ordered our T@B in early spring and waited--very impatiently!--for delivery in late summer. We picked up our tiny trailer on August 28, thanks to a great dealer, Gale Stock of Heartland Auto, who drove 1,500 miles to get our T@B from the factory so we could attend a Labor Day reunion!
September is pretty late in the midwestern camping season, but we've had one of those rare years in which autumn lives up to its spectacular reputation. We reluctantly put our T@B, (dubbed "Speedbump" by a clever cousin) into winter storage today, after camping 19 nights in our first two-months as RVers. And we're enjoying our T@B even more than we expected.
We owe a huge debt to the knowledgable, generous, and engaged members of this forum. I lurked here almost daily while we waited on our trailer and I absorbed so much. I was afraid that the learning curve would be steep, but this community provided a solid base--and I knew where to turn when I did have a question. It's been simple to pack up and go--and so, so much fun.
So thanks, everybody. And to you folks out there lurking, wondering if one of these things might be for you, I can honestly say that it's been one of our best lifestyle investments ever.

As far as winterizing and still having heat - The Alde has two parts, the hot water and the heat. The hot water reservoir get drained in the winterizing process but the heat side is a self-contained (somewhat sealed), system containing glycol so it doesn't get drained and you can still use that half of the system all winter long. You won't have any water but you will have heat.
