Section 14: Travel/Camping/Storage Checklists

Motorhome Storage

Properly preparing your motorhome for storage during periods of non-usage will prevent 

problems from arising.  It will also make it easier to get started again for the following 

camping trip or season.  To prevent costly freeze-ups, winterize the plumbing system when it 

will not be in use for an extended period of time, especially if it is stored in colder climates.

Prior to storage:

 

Prepare the chassis for storage in accordance to the Chassis Guide.  Remember to 

use fuel additives and supplements if recommended.

 

Wash and wax the exterior of the vehicle.  Do a sealant inspection and repair as 

necessary.

  Inspect and clean tires.  Check for wear, cracks and inflation pressure.

  Inspect and seal off any area that offers an entry point for rodents, birds or insects. 

Cover all external outlets (i.e. furnace, vents etc.).  Damage from birds, rodents, 

insect, etc., is not covered under the “Motorized Transferable Limited Warranty” 

applicable to your motorhome.

 

Close all windows, roof vents and range hood vent.

 

Turn the furnace thermostat(s) to the OFF position (if equipped).

 

If your motorhome 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 motorhome is winterized.

 

Winterize the toilet and appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, clothes washer).

Before leaving the campsite:

 

Check the area under the motorhome after overnight parking and look for fuel, 

water, oil or other fluid leaks.  If leaks are detected, find the cause and correct it 

immediately.

  Turn off propane tanks (if so equipped).

 

Empty black and gray holding tank, rinse as needed.

 

Retract any awnings and secure them for transport.

 

Close all the roof vents.

 

Close windows & latch blinds.

 

Disconnect the cable TV and phone hookups and lower the TV antenna.

  Turn off the interior lights, water heater, furnace and water pump.

 

Secure any loose, heavy or sharp objects in the motorhome or exterior compart-

ments.

 

Disconnect the power cord and ensure it is stored correctly.

 

Disconnect any water connections.

  Water pump and water heater (if applicable) turned off.

 

Fasten all interior and exterior doors securely.  Lock them (if applicable).  Latch 

drawers, cabinets & doors.

 

Move slideout(s) in and lock it in place (if applicable).

 

Walk around your motorhome one last time to make sure everything is stored 

away and the baggage compartments are closed and locked.

 

Refrigerator door locked.

  Furnace turned off.

 

Make sure the leveling jacks are retracted to the travel position.

 

Retract step.

 

Secure and lock the entrance door.
