Storage
As with any travel trailers, the
Camp-Inn
™
travel trailer should be
stored in a cool dry place when not in use. Proper storage methods will
preserve the good looks and condition of your
Camp-Inn
™
for many
years.
When storing your
Camp-Inn
™ for the winter or for extended periods
of more than a week, follow these procedures:
Turn OFF the DC Power Disconnect Switch. (p.25)
Recharge battery fully before storing for the winter or any extended
period. Recharge battery, at a minimum, once every 3 months during
storage. (Units with TriMetric, either leave plugged in, or recharge
monthly, or disconnect battery and charge battery every 3 months.)
If you are storing it in an area where freezing temperatures are a
possibility, add RV non-toxic anti-freeze to the water system. See
Section on
Winterizing
the water system. (p.18)
It is recommended that, your
Camp-Inn
™
should be stored in a
building. Leaving the windows and hatch open for a while will help
dry out the cabin and kitchen areas.
A temporary shelter like those made by Shelter Logic
TM
are a good
second choice.

If you cannot store it in a building, or a temporary shelter, you should
use a
Camp-Inn
™
storage cover. This storage cover is weather
resistant and water repellant but like any cloth cover it may develop
small leaks with age. After any major rainstorm or multiple days of
rain, your trailer should be inspected, inside kitchen and cabin, for
water that may have leaked in.
You should NEVER store your
Camp-Inn
™
travel trailer under a
plastic tarp or other non-breathable covering. Doing so may cause
condensation to form on the outside and inside of the trailer and may
cause mold, mildew or rot. This may also cause corrosion of the
aluminum skin creating blemishes on the surface.
There should be space around your trailer for airflow.
Storing your trailer in a manner not consistent with the above
procedures, or storing outdoors for extended periods without covering,
will void the warranty.
