Exterior Care
Winterizing The Exterior
•
BEFORE storing for the winter, be sure your RV
is properly
Winterized
.
1. Check your roof and other surfaces for any damage or
potential leaks that could go unnoticed until it is too late.
2. Close all windows and roof vents.
3. Turn OFF 12-volt DC/120-volt AC/propane
to the refrigerator; defrost and clean.
4. Use crumpled newspaper or open boxes of baking soda
in the refrigerator to eliminate odors during storage.
5. Shut OFF the propane cylinder valve(s).
6. Cover all external outlets/vents (furnace, exhaust, etc.)
to prevent mice or other rodents from entering.
7. Cover the roof air conditioner (if so equipped).
8. Disconnect 120-volt AC power to the RV.
9. DO NOT use the leveling legs during storage.
10. Drain all water lines.
11. Flush, then drain all holding tanks; fresh water,
water heater, gray water and black water.
12. Remove all (customer supplied) batteries from the RV,
and store in a place where they will not freeze. Batteries
that have been frozen will never hold a proper charge.
13. Thoroughly wash the interior and the exterior of your RV.
14. Store your RV indoors, under a roof or purchase a
breathable cover for use during storage.
15. To prevent weather checking and other UV damage,
cover tires that are exposed to sunlight.
Snow removal
During the storage period, remove snow from the top of your
RV to prevent damage to the unit’s structure.
Excessive snow, 8" or
more, or ice, 2" or more,
places excessive weight
on the RV roof. Remove
excessive snow or ice as
needed. Care MUST be
exercised to not damage
the roof material when
removing snow & ice.
Excessive weight can
damage the roof, seals, etc.
Water leaks and poor fit or
operation are the results of
this damage.
NOTICE
Damage from
birds, rodents,
insect, etc., is not

applicable to your RV.
