seals. Drain engine oil, replace filter, refill
engine with fresh oil .
3 . Remove windshield wiper blades and store
inside the motor home .
4 . Charge and remove both the chassis and
house battery(ies) . Store in a cool, dry
place, and check the charge and water level
every 30 days. If the specific gravity is
being checked, recharge the battery when
it drops to 1 .220 . With the advent of com-
puter controlled engine and transmission
management systems certain procedures
must be followed whenever the chassis
battery is disconnected or replaced . Please
refer to your Chassis Operator’s/Owner’s

plied by the chassis manufacturer with

the fuel system . It may also clog small ori-
fices. Commercially available gasoline fuel
stabilizers should be added whenever actual
or expected storage periods exceed 60 days .
Follow the additive manufacturer’s instruc-
tions . Operate the vehicle regularly during the
storage period to mix and circulate the anti-
oxidant agent throughout the fuel system .

Thoughtful planning and preparation for the
winter season can help eliminate equipment fail-
ures and breakdowns, and can extend the life of
your motor home and its systems . Your dealer
can advise you concerning specific winterization
procedures and products for your climate area or
the areas through which you will be traveling .
Your dealer may also provide winterization ser-
vice for all appliances and systems in the motor
home . The following is a check list if you prefer
to perform these procedures yourself:
1 . Check engine coolant level and antifreeze
protection. Drain and flush engine cooling
system and add antifreeze per the chassis
operator’s manual .
2 . Service and winterize the generator as
outlined in the generator operating manual
included in your Owner’s Information
Package .
Note
If your motor home is equipped with a solar battery
charger, it will trickle charge the house battery. The
battery disconnect switch must be ON for the solar
charger to charge the batteries.
