Florida RVers who drive north in spring face a specific risk: the route from Central Florida through Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas can include below-freezing nights in March and April. An RV that leaves Apopka on a 65-degree day can encounter 25-degree nights in the mountains 12 hours later. Proper winterization before departure eliminates this risk.
Conversely, RVers who arrive in Florida from the north with their rigs winterized need de-winterization before using the water system. Drinking water with RV antifreeze in the lines is unpleasant, and using plumbing with the bypass valves in winterized position means cold water only from city hookup.
