If the motorhome was properly and carefully prepared for storage, taking it out of storage
will not be difficult. The following checklist assumes that you stored your RV with care.
If you didn’t, and extensive freeze damage or other serious deterioration has occurred,
consult your dealer or an authorized service center for advice.
Thoroughly inspect the outside of your RV. Look for animal’s nests in wheel wells,
in engine, air cleaner, or in other out of the way places. Clean all appliance exhaust
vents, ceiling vents and air conditioning covers.
Changing the wiper blades on your motorhome is similar to your car. Remove the
screw, take off the old blade, and replace with a similar style and length blade.
Lubricating pivot points with thin lubricating oil is also recommended.
Check that all furnace, water heater and refrigerator openings are free of debris,
insect nests, webs, etc.
