Prior to Storage
If storing for the winter, be sure the RV is winterized (refer to Sec. 8 Plumbing
System , Winterizing the plumbing system).

Check your roof and other surfaces to ensure there is no damage and potential
leakage that might otherwise go unnoticed until it is too late.

Close all windows and roof vents.

Close the propane cylinder valve(s). If you do not have a propane cylinder
cover, we recommend purchasing one to make sure the regulator is covered.

Cover all external outlets, such as furnace, exhaust, etc. to prevent mice or
other rodents from entering.
