We are headed to the Harligen area in Texas. We have been in the area multiple times but only for a week or two at a time. We are planning to stay January February and March and have reserved a spot in a campground we found on the Internet. We are casual birders and really enjoy the many spots in the Rio Grand Valley. Any thoughts about where to go and what to do for three months without any snow to shovel would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for your timely reply. As I'm sure most readers understand we are both excited and somewhat fearful as we plan our first trip south for the winter. The basement furnace is fueled by propane. The roof is rubber so we will pray that the snow doesn't fall early this year like it did last year. If anyone else out there has advice for our first snowbird trip it would be appreciated. Up until 6 weeks ago we were tent campers!!! Jo-Ann Gruber 2002 Newmar Dutch Star

We are newbies and are preparing for our first trip to the warmth of the south this winter. We plan to leave northern Wisconsin after Christmas and have a number of questions. They are: 1. Do we need to winterize the coach before leaving? (Yes, our Decembers include below-zero temperatures at times.) Or can we turn on our basement heater to keep the water lines from freezing until we leave? 2. Can we have the basement heater running while driving until we reach an area where there are no below-freezing temperatures? 3. How is snow best handled on the roof of the coach? No, we do not have a shelter for the coach yet, but plan to get one next year. 4. Can the coach furnace or heat pump be run while driving? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. If you think I have missed any important questions, please answer them for me. Jo-Ann Gruber 2002 Newmar Dutch Star
