designed specifically for mini-blinds. Wash the mini-blinds with mild soap and water in a tub or hang the blinds
on a fence or wall and gently rinse them with a hose.
Night Shades
The night shades are made of a polyester blended material. Use the following guidelines to care and maintain
the shades:
• Vacuum with a brush attachment, or use a dusting tool on a regular basis.

Short Term
Short term storage is defined as storing the recreational vehicle for a period of thirty days or less. Properly
preparing the recreational vehicle during periods of short term storage will make bringing the recreational vehicle
out of storage a much easier process.
Checklist - Short Term Storage:
• Drain the holding tanks. • Remove items from refrigerator/freezer. Clean.
• Leave door ajar to prevent mildew. • Shut off appliances and water heater.
• Close the LP-Gas valve. • Retract awnings and secure for transport.
• Close all the roof vents. • Secure and lock the entrance door.
Long Term
Long term storage of the recreational vehicle can be defined as leaving a recreational vehicle unattended for
a period of thirty days or more. When stored out in the environment without proper maintenance, the recreational
vehicle is vulnerable to the moisture and oxidation processes inherent in the environment.
There are preventative measures which should be taken and preferable situations to use when storing
a recreational vehicle. Such measures will aid in protecting and preventing a recreational vehicle from the
damaging effects caused by an accumulation of moisture.
NOTE:
The natural process of moisture accumulation in the air will occur with temperature changes
of 30º F or more in one day. Humidity readings of 60% or greater will allow the accumulated
moisture to remain for extended periods of time.
