Excessive snow, 8” or more, or ice, 2” or more, places excessive weight on the
RV roof. Remove excessive snow or ice as needed. Care MUST be exercised
to not damage the roof material when removing snow and ice. Excessive
weight can damage the roof, seals, etc. Water leaks and poor fit or operation
are the results of this damage.
Close the propane cylinder valve(s). We recommend using a propane cylinder
cover, and to make sure the propane regulator is covered. If is equipped with a gas/
electric DSI range, light a range gas burner to consume any gas remaining in the
lines. Once the flame extinguishes itself, turn the burner valve OFF.
Drain all water lines. Make sure the RV is winterized
Drain and flush all holding tanks (fresh water, gray water, black water and/or hot
water tanks).
Adding fuel stabilizer to the generator (if so equipped) will aid in preventing con-
densation and fuel varnishing.
Disconnect 120-volt AC power to the RV.
Remove all batteries from the RV and store in a place where they will not freeze.
A battery that has been frozen will never hold a proper charge.
Turn all cushions on edge to prevent the moisture/mildew buildup during storage.
Turn off 12-volt DC/120-volt AC/propane to the refrigerator; defrost and clean.
Block the doors open so air can circulate and prevent mildew, or use crumpled
newspaper or open boxes of baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate odors
during storage.
Remove all perishables from the cabinets. Leave the cabinets and doors ajar to
allow air circulation and prevent mildew and musty odors.
Lubricate locks and hinges on exterior doors.
During Storage Period
Remove snow from the top of your RV to prevent damage to the unit’s structure.
