Motorhome Care
WINTERISATION/STORAGE
This is probably an opportune moment to
arrange for the Caravan or Motorhome to
have its annual service at your appointed
dealer.
The following applies whenever your
Caravan or Motorhome is stored particularly
during the winter months.
Do not park near trees or larch type fences,
due to possible wind damage.
Keep any grass around the floor of the
Caravan or Motorhome short, to maintain air
flow and stop any possible damp getting
into the Caravan or Motorhome.
It is advised that the Caravan or Motorhome
is ventilated regularly throughout the
winterisation /storage period, opening
windows, doors and rooflights when
possible.
General
All moving parts should be checked for free
operation.
Clean all cooking appliances and refrigerator.
Lubrication should be carried out at the
points illustrated in the general notes on
chassis maintenance.
Charge up the on-board battery every 2
months.
Leave the refrigerator door open.
Leave furniture doors and lockers open to
allow air to circulate fully.
Soft Furnishings
Clean and dust the upholstery and if
possible remove before placing the Caravan
or Motorhome into winter storage.
Alternatively, stand the cushions on their
edges to allow circulation of air.
This will reduce the possibility of dampness
from condensation.
Keep curtains or blinds closed, to minimise
fading of furniture.
If the blinds and/or flyscreens remain down
for a prolonged period of time, re-tensioning
of the springs will be necessary before
re-use.
Wheels and Tyres
Do not store in one position with partially
deflated tyres. The tyre walls will suffer and
do present a real danger of blow outs,
especially when travelling at faster speeds
than are allowed in the UK.
The wheels should be turned every couple of
weeks.
If you are removing the wheels, follow the
jacking procedure for changing a wheel.
Check your tyres regularly for signs of age
and deterioration, particularly wear, cracking
and blistering. If in doubt consult a reputable
tyre fitter.
Water System
Remove chopping board from bowl.
All taps should be opened. Single lever
mixer taps, including the shower mixer,
should have the lever moved to the central
position and lifted to the open position for
hot and cold.
Open system drains. If fitted remove red
drain plugs from under the floor of the
vehicle (fig 1) and place in drawer.
Alternatively if fitted, locate the drain valves
mounted above the floor (model specific)
and rotate the handle clockwise to the open
position.
Drain water heater:
Open yellow handle on in line valve normally
adjacent to water heater. Valve is open when
handle is vertical.
Drain water tanks:
Fresh tank: remove the water dump plug
from inside the tank.
Waste tank: open in line valve adjacent to
the tank. Valve is open when handle is in line
with body of valve.
With valves and switches set as previously
described to run taps from the fresh water
tank, the pump can be run momentarily to
assist purging the water tank and pipes.
