With Gallup, New Mexico area Speedway gas stations charging $3.80/gallon of unleaded as of yesterday*, I may have to forego going to the Spring Clampout of the Lost Dutchman Chapter of E Clampus Vitus in Chloride, Arizona. Chloride is near Kingman and is 375 miles from home. The clampout is in early April. Anything can happen between now and then.
My RV's gas tank has a capacity of 55 gallons. If the price stays at $3.80/gallon, it would cost me $209 per fill-up (I would need two). Arizona gas prices tend to be higher along Interstate 40. Normally, my gasoline cost for such a trip is about half that. I'll have to think about it.
With all that being said. If one still plans to head out in their RV when Spring arrives and the RV needs to be dewinterized, Do It Yourself RV has an article on dewinterizing RVs on a step-by-step basis.
They begin it with:
With winter fading and spring around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about pulling your RV out of storage. Whether you stored it in a garage, in the yard, or in a temperature-regulated facility, there are a few things you’ll need to do to get it ready for travel again.
If you took the proper steps to safely store your RV for the winter, it will be fairly easy to get it ready for the camping season. Spring is a great time to perform a vehicle check and take note of anything that is empty, old, or in need of replacement.
Dewinterizing an RV takes a bit of time, but it’s worth it to have a clean, safe, and fully-functional vehicle at the end. Below we have a guide that will walk you through each step of the process. Your RV may or may not need to go through every step, depending on how well you prepared it for storage. Either way, it’s good to know how to dewinterize an RV because you’ll need to apply this knowledge every year.
