going to KOH this year and I will be taking my toy hauler. Question is will I have to worry about freezing pipes in my toy hauler in feb.?? How cold does it get in feb at the hammers? Where is a good place to fill my toy hauler with water? It is winterized already. Temps here are already getting to 25 at night. I will have to winterize it before I get home as well because in feb. here it only gets 40's for highs and single digets for lows. Also what is the elevation there because I will have to jet my rhino as well.

It's a crap-shoot...

However damaging freezing temps are NOT likely.

Just be prepared for the....(ain't gonna say it...) :laughing:

It will be a great time no matter what!!!


Edit:
As for water, if you come through Yucca Valley, I'm right off the Hwy....

Elevation: 2600'

thanks for the offer but I will be comming down from nothern nevada and going through barstow,victorville and apple valley so if there is anyone in that area that will let me fill up with water I will have some beers for you:D

There is a place on Bear Valley rd in Apple Valley where alot of people dump their tanks. I dont know if they have water to fill your tanks. I will stop in next time I go out and find out. If not I am in Spring Valley lake and you can fill up at my house. Check with me when the dates get closer.

I am right off HWY18 on the East side of Apple Valley, if you want you can fill your tank.

That would be great. How cold dose it get there in feb.??

I was there last year and other than that blasting *&^%$##@@!%&* it was perfect weather. I was there for the week and this time I will be there for 10 days YYYAAAA HHHOOOO!!!!! as far as water goes I just pulled up in front of a random house with a hose out front, I knocked on the door (to be polite) and there was no answer so I grabbed the hose and filled my 120 gl tanks and was off. Hope they weren't on a meter LOL. Just don't forget you motor cycle googles and if you can find it they make plastic tops for beer cans so there like a soda bottle with a cap, it will keep the dirt out

or- there is water in Ridgecrest--- which is on your way----

we also have a dump station if you wish to use it !!!

at the FU2 shop-- we are 2 hours out from KOH

You could have very cold temps or it could be mid 50s. You never know in the high desert.

I can remember the All-Pro Jamboree in January 2007. It never got above 20 degrees during the day and it was 5 degrees on the lake bed both mornings. It was miserable cold, but we still wheeled and had a great weekend. I just felt sorry for the tent campers.

The above was an extreme rarity, but plenty will attest to waking up to snow on the lake bed. I have been out there when it was 70 degrees at noon, and snowing at 5pm. So, you never know.

I remember that weekend. It was very cold. We killed the coach battery in the RV from using the heater, and there were 8 of us crowded in the RV, plus 2 dogs. I had to start the generator and felt bad, but then I heard generators starting up all over the lakebed.

This is what I tell my girlfriend every time we go to the Hammers "bring everything you need to be comfortable in temps between 20 and 80 degrees"

In late January it was lightly snowing on us at the top of Jack North (not enough to stick though). Never know what it will be like this year, but who knows, w/ all the El Nino talk - imagine KOH in the snow:eek: Pretty rare though, I'd put money on it being above freezing at night for sure...

As for winterizing, most RVs plumbing is not exposed to the elements, just need to keep the interior above freezing. Some have the holding tanks exposed but it would have to be very cold.

God I remember that, I was one of the tent campers. Fawking cold that night, we hit sledge late Fri night and got back to camp at 5am Sat. That was a cold drive across the lake bed!!! :laughing::laughing:
5am to 8am is all it took to freeze over my freinds truck who wasn't running anit-freeze.
But that last two KOH's the weather has been alright. Not too cold or too hot.
