To conserve water and fuel:
Operate the refrigerator on propane.
Plan what is needed from the
refrigerator prior to opening. Conserve
propane by cooking over a campfire.
Turn the water heater on about twenty
minutes prior to use. Once heated,
water will remain hot for several hours.
Turn the water heater off when not in
use.
Set the thermostat temperature slightly
lower than desired to prevent frequent
cycling of the heating system.
Know tank capacities and routinely
check fuel levels, especially during cold
weather.
Use ventilation fans or open
windows to reduce use of the roof air
conditioner.
Frequently monitor water consumption.
Limit shower usage; turn water off
when soaping down and back on to
rinse. When water conservation is
critical, take a sponge bath or use
campground shower facilities if
available.
Do not
fill the sink with
water to wash only a few dishes. Use
disposable dishes when possible.
Evacuate waste holding tanks prior to
filling fresh water tank.
To conserve battery power:
Do not allow batteries to fully
discharge before operating the
generator. If possible, run the generator
twice a day, morning and afternoon, to
charge the batteries.

When not using the inverter (if
equipped) for 120 Volts AC, turn it
OFF .
Turn off interior 12 Volt DC power
whenever possible. Refrigerator,
battery charging and inverter (if
equipped) operation is not affected.
Turn off small battery operated items
i.e., porch, bay exterior step, generator
and engine compartment lights, etc.
Turn off the antenna boost when not
watching TV. One light left on can
quickly reduce battery reserves.
Keep a working flashlight handy for
night trips through the campsite and
inside motorhome. When interior
lighting is desired, use one light in
a central location such as the vanity.
Disconnect all but one or two bulbs.
Turn on the water pump only when
using water.
If weather does not permit or no
outdoor table is available, eat at the
dinette table by candlelight.
Operate the generator when using
convection microwave oven.

Preparing the motorhome for travel will
require several small tasks. Properly securing
and storing items will help to prevent them
from getting lost or damaged. Below is a
checklist guide to reference when preparing to
break camp.
Outside Checklist:
Disconnect the cable TV.
Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
Retract awnings and secure them for
travel.
Close the primary propane shut-off
tank valve.
Connect the sewer hose.
Drain and flush holding tanks. Start
by closing the grey water valve. Run
enough cold water down sink and
shower drains to fill the grey tank
at least 50%. Use caution to avoid
overfilling or flooding the grey tank.
Open the black tank valve and allow
adequate time for black tank to drain. If
applicable, connect a non-potable water
hose to the “Tank Flush” connection
and flush the black tank system. Close
black tank valve and open grey water
valve. Water from the grey tank will
help to flush the drain hose. Once
evacuated, close grey water valve.
Disconnect the sewer hose and flush
with clean water from a non-potable
hose. Store the hose. Replace the sewer
cap.
