Winterization 

Operating in Freezing Conditions can damage 
piping and equipment if camper is not winterized. 
Always winterize your camper if you are camping 
in below freezing temperatures. 
Propane for the appliances will work down to 44 
degrees below zero (-44°). 
The windows have weep holes, which drain water 
from the window tracks. In heavy rain and wind, 
water could be blown into the camper through these 
holes. Put a piece of sponge in the track over the 
hole to prevent this from occurring. 

 

Storage 

The following checklists will help you perform the 
steps necessary to prepare your camper for storage. 
Use the checklist that applies to the storage 
conditions you anticipate. These checklists do not 
include every detail required, and you may want to 
expand them to suit your needs. 

Short-Term Storage 

(less than 45 days – Above Freezing) 

1)

 

Wash the exterior. 

2)

 

Park the camper as level as possible front to 
rear and side to side. 

3)

 

Before disconnecting the battery cables, 
check the charge in the battery. Recharge as 
necessary. Clean terminals, top and sides of 
battery and battery box. Leave the battery 
disconnected or switch the battery 
disconnections switch to the “STORE” 
position. 

4)

 

Drain the holding tanks, toilet, and fresh 
water tank. Turn off the water pump and

and oven burner valves and pilot. 

7)

 

Remove all perishables from refrigerator 
and galley cabinets. Leave the refrigerator 
door open to reduce odor buildup. An open 
box or tray of baking soda in the refrigerator 
will help absorb odors. 

8)

 

Slightly open (1/4”) a roof vent. 

9)

 

Close and lock all windows. Be sure the 
vent fan and range hood fan switches are 
off.

water inlet and fresh water fill spout. 

11)

 

Turn off all radios, TV’s, interior and 
exterior lights. 

12)

 

Close the mini blinds and day/night shades. 

13)

store in compartment. 

14)

 

If removing the camper from the truck, see 
procedure and warning in the “Loading and 
Unloading Camper” section. 

15)

 

Check the camper weekly. 

Long-Term Storage 

(Above Freezing) 

1)

 

Perform all the preceding short-term storage 
steps. 

2)

 

Operate air conditioner periodically to 
lubricate compressor seals. 

3)

 

Remove and place the battery in a cool, dry 
area. Check the battery charge every 30 
days. Recharge as necessary. 

4)

 

Check the sealants around all roof seams, 
body seams, and windows. Reseal if 
necessary. See “Sealant Renewal” section. 

5)

 

Prepare the generator (if equipped). See 
generator Operating Manual included in the 
Owner’s Information Package. 

6)

 

Remove the smoke detector’s battery. Leave 
the cover open as a reminder to replace the 
battery. 

7)

 

Cover exterior vents; Alde, air conditioner 
shroud, refer, to prevent insects and small 
animals from getting in the camper. Be sure 
to remove all covering materials before 
using appliances and vents.  

 

Storage Below Freezing 

To avoid damage to the plumbing fixtures and other 
components, we recommend that your camper 
plumbing systems be properly drained and have 
antifreeze protection. The following is a procedure 
checklist you can follow if you prefer to winterize 
your camper yourself. Many owners prefer a 

nüCamp RV

service.

Perform all steps in the short and long-term 
storage procedures. 

2)

water tank drain and leaving open.
