While the motor home is being stored
If the vehicle is stored outside in areas of heavy snow, you should periodically brush the
snow off to prevent excessive accumulation and prevent possible roof damage.
Periodically inspect your motor home during storage, and seal off any area that can offer
an entry point for rodents, birds or insects. Also inspect the motor home for any damage.
Damage from birds, rodents, insects, etc., is not covered under the “Motorized
Transferable Limited Warranty” applicable to your motor home.
