The February NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway is one of the most thrilling events on the calendar. But veteran race fans know that winter nights in Georgia can get notoriously chilly! If you are planning an infield camping experience at EchoPark Speedway, preparation is everything. Nothing ruins a great tailgate faster than a freezing camper.
Here is our ultimate guide to staying warm, prepared, and stress-free while tailgating at the track.
Manage Your 12V Battery Power
If you are dry-camping on the infield, your RV furnace relies heavily on your battery. The furnace blower motor eats 12V battery power incredibly fast. If you aren't running your generator overnight, make sure to set your thermostat a little lower and bring extra blankets, otherwise you might wake up to a dead battery and a freezing camper!
Monitor Your Propane Pressure
There is nothing better than waking up on the infield with the smell of breakfast on the grill. But if you are cooking outside or running the heat this February, remember that standard propane tanks can lose pressure when the temperature drops near freezing. Keep your tanks full, and make sure you know how to flip your automatic regulator switch so you don't wake up shivering at 3 AM!
Prep the Generator Before Loading
Your generator is your lifeline during a winter dry-camping event. Give your portable generator a test run before you load it up in the truck. Fresh oil, a clean spark plug, and non-ethanol gas can save your entire weekend. And remember standard campground etiquette: always point that exhaust away from your neighbor's slide-out!
