jlreyburn, sounds like a good trip. We also have a privacy tent that we got from Bass Pro, pops up in seconds. Being the frugal person that I am, we got a large plastic container, much like the large containers of kitty litter with a good lid and got small garbage bags. Use a little kitty litter in it and dispose each morning. Love having something close by in the middle of the night and we don't use it during the day. It works perfectly and really does not take up much room. Those little rooms close by at midnight are priceless. :D

We have driven round trip from Alaska to Arizona a couple times in the winter. Slept in temps as low as 20 below. Had a fun time!! Here is a link to a trip report with pics of our first trip south a few years ago.........

I'm in the middle of a road trip now. I started in North Carolina in the Raliegh-Durham area. The TD isn't complete yet. Because I'm converting someone else's project, things are a bit out of order. The first day I drove a bit over 750 miles, and stayed just over the TN border in Marion AR. From there it was about 600 miles to Abilene TX. So far the TD has worked great. Its half full of stuff, as I'm moving back to San Diego, but Its been a comfy place to sleep each night. Tonight I was supposed to stay in Lordsburg NM, but nasty wind and Icy roads, have me spending the night in Deming. I was fighting a head wind most of the day, really awful driving today, so I'm happy to stop for the day. Tonight will be the biggest challenge, as its predicted to reach about 29F here tonight. I don't have any insulation in the ceiling yet, and the walls and floor are just 3/4 ply, hopefully the two dogs will provide enough heat to keep the three of us warm.

I think you'll be fine, Tom. 29 degrees is just a "Two Dog Night". :lol: There is nothing like a couple fur-buddies to keep you warm. :thumbsup:

Stay safe on your trip!
