Here in the NJ area, we've always used April 01st as the day.

I hear you.  That is precisely why I want to get out... before school lets out.  I enjoy the quiet as well.

S Bard, I am with you brother, I almost did it last weekend, then the 6 inch snow hit as a reminder. I am thinking 2 or 3 weeks, the old saying around here is frost free by april 23, actually its around april 12 or so, but a frost overnight will not hurt the pod or damage the plumbing, if the holding tank is full of 50 degree water a slight dip into the 20's will not freeze the tank. so I am thinking we are closeer than you think. I would like to get out before school is out, when spring is showing and the camp grounds are vacant, nothing against kids, but Donna and I like the quiet woods.

I am getting a terrible case of the spring pod fever.  It hasn't been in the teens here in more than a month, but it has been in the 20s on the occasional night.  When is it ok to dewinterize?  The weather here has been an average of 33 to 55 during the day and 23 to 37 at night.
