Thanks, Daisy.  That's what we will be doing.  The batteries we will be 
bringing in as MA is quite different from ME.  We get -zero for many 
continuous days.  Although I guess we could just plug the trailer in every 
now and them.  That would charge them and keep them up to snuff I should 
think.

oops.... I guess I wasn't clear.  Our tires are new [new trailer].... what I 
meant was them getting a flat spot or being out of round.   We've had this 
happen to tires on one of our vehicles that we didn't use much in the cold 
weather.

No leaks so far.  But should we cover the vents to the frig and water 
heater?  Snow could easily blow in.
