So we made it through the first winter and summer and the fall was fairly uneventful aside from some entertaining RV park antics that I have recounted in the previous posts. The second winter was colder than the first and we could certainly feel the difference in our little tin can. Our water hose and pipes froze up almost immediately and stayed that way for most of the winter. We had to use jugs of water to flush the toilet and to do dishes but all in all we adjusted to it very quickly. The sewer tank only froze up once, when we ran out of RV antifreeze, yes they make it and it's best to use it frequently during the winter.
This was also the year of the huge Oklahoma blizzard during Christmas. We had gone home to our house to be near Wynn's family and to take a break from the freezing conditions in the Airstream and we got stranded. I missed several days of work as did Wynn. Our roommate at the house got stranded in a McDonald's parking lot on Christmas Eve and we couldn't dig out our 4wd truck to go and rescue him.
When we finally made it back to the Airsteam everything was fine, the furnace was running and we had enough propane in the second tank to make it for a few days without refilling. It was quite cozy looking from the outside with all of that snow snuggled up around it's base. Even so we were glad that we had been at our house during the worst of it.
