We continue to be impressed with our van. Using only a small electric heater ( the installed propane furnace is too noisy and why use your own propane if you don’t have to anyway), and a little bit of judicious insulation with a towel at the bottom of a leaky door, and our privacy curtains we created a cozy and warm sleeping space. I forgot to flip our bedding system to the winter side but we were warm enough. The outside temperature was 23F when we got up. So cold weather camping is a go for a night or two but without water.
Heading south today on I95. The east coast of the U.S. along the inland waterway is flat and sandy, good for growing peanuts and tobacco and cotton in the Carolinas and Georgia. Vegetation is coniferous… Virginia pine, jack pine and sand pine. Flat as a pancake for the most part, I95 is the eastern U.S. corridor from south to north for truckers, RVs and the weather! Bad weather originating in the south often sticks to I95 like a magnate as it flows north.
Yemasse, SC is close to Beaufort, SC (pronounced Bewfort) where we used to visit dear friends no longer with us. It’s a beautiful day and we have found the warmer weather we have been looking for without being hot. We dewinterized the van and we now have hot and cold water which means toilet too. Good thing because we were accumulating dirty dishes which are now washed and put away … all other systems functioning, always a worry when the van sits for a few months.
Sitting outside in the sunshine as I write this. Good for the soul.
