cables. Remove the batteries and store them in a cool dry place. Check
and recharge as needed. Never park the coach where the battery door can
not be opened.

rior panels and roof vents.

• Roof - Keep clear of snow accumulation or damage may occur.
If the motorhome was properly and carefully prepared for storage, taking it out of
storage will not be difficult. The following procedure checklist assumes that you
stored your motorhome properly. If you did not, and extensive freeze damage or
other serious deterioration has occurred, consult a dealer or an authorized service
center for advice.
• Thoroughly inspect the outside of motorhome. Look for animal nests in the
wheel wells or in other out of the way places.
• Remove all appliance vents, ceiling vents and air conditioning covers. Be sure
all refrigerator openings are free of debris, insect nests, webs, etc.
• Open all doors and compartments. Check for animal or insect intrusion, water
damage or other deterioration.
• Check all chassis fluids levels: engine oil, engine coolant, hydraulic fluid
reservoir, transmission oil and rear axle oil.
• Check the charge levels in the batteries. Refill with distilled water only and
recharge as necessary. Reinstall the batteries if necessary.
• Be sure the cable ends and terminals are clean and free of corrosion.
• Be sure the engine instruments indicate proper readings. Start the engine,
allowing it to reach operating temperature.
• Shut the engine down. Check all fluids and fill as necessary.
• While the engine is running, check the operation of headlights, tail lights, turn
signals, back-up lights, license plate light and emergency
flasher. Operate the dash air conditioner. If the air conditioner does not
work, or unusual sounds occur, have the system checked by a qualified air
conditioner technician.
• Drain, flush and sanitize the fresh water system as outlined in the Water
Section. Inspect the drain hose for leaks. Replace if necessary.
• Operate all faucets and fixtures in the fresh water system.
• Check for water leaks at all joints and fittings. Repair if necessary.
• Check the 12 Volt circuit breaker and inspect fuses.
• Operate all 12 Volt lights and accessories.
• Install the new batteries in battery operated devices.
