CAMPING SEASON PREPARATION
Preparation for the camping season (or at any given time):
1. Open vents and windows and air out the camper. Turn on ventilating fans.
2. Check water, gas and any other pipelines or tubes for insects such as spiders and mud dauber
wasps that frequently build nests and clog tubes. This can be especially dangerous in gas
pipelines as gas can become trapped and carbon monoxide may result and cause death.
3. Clean the camper thoroughly. Inspect the trailer for caulking failure, water damage, and rodent
or insect intrusion.
4. De-winterize and sanitize the fresh water system in your camper. See instructions on
page 29.
5. Pressurize the water system and check for leaks by operating every faucet and water outlet and
observing fittings and connections for leaks.
6. Inspect the electrical system. Check power cords, converter, outlets and wiring for damage.
7. Check battery terminals for corrosion, turn on battery switch, and check battery charge levels.
8. Check circuit breakers and fuses in the converter box for function.
9. Test all the lights and other accessories for proper function.
10. Check the propane piping for leaks. If no leaks are found, slowly turn on LP tank valves.
11. Turn on appliances one by one and test with propane and/ electricity for proper function.
12. Put a new battery into the smoke alarm if required. Ensure all safety alarms are working properly.
13. Remember to follow manufacturer instructions for each component’s startup and operation.
14. If any issues are found in your trailer and you cannot perform the maintenance yourself, consult
your authorized nuCamp dealer for assistance.
