Helping out a new fulltimer

The other day I was walking and struck up a conversation with a gentleman who was standing in the doorway of his brand new travel trailer. He told me he and his wife were new to the lifestyle and had some questions, if I didn't mind talking for awhile.
Well I love to talk about fulltiming, RVing, workcamping, traveling .... you name it! :-) We talked for quite awhile, like we had known each other for years. He had a lot of questions about cold weather camping. He told me he and his wife have no kids of their own but have a large extended family who live "up North" and that they spend time with. They also have a part time job that helps fund their travels and would be working all the way up to Christmas so needed to make sure they stayed warm and all the utilities functioned.
I explained the things we do to keep from freezing and how to insulate and "heat" your water hose as well as gave him some options for handling the black and gray water. He was very thankful for my help and I only wished we could have spent some more time together but they were pulling out today. He told me that this time of year is his busiest time and he needed to get back to work. We exchanged information and promised to stay in touch, he said he would follow our blog regularly to see what kind of "mischief" I was getting into. :-)
I did manage to take a quick photo with my i-phone (sorry about the quality)

So now you know, Santa and Mrs. Clause are actually fulltimers! Better keep your eyes open for them and make sure you don't end up on the "naughty list"! I'll keep you posted.
