When stored outside, use the Aladdin
™
system to make a quick reference
check of the battery voltage while
the motorhome is in storage. If the
motorhome is stored outside, solar
panels may offset the parasitic loads.
Preventative measures should be used if
the voltage readings are low. Removing
the motorhome from storage or moving
the motorhome in case of an emergency
will be a much easier process.
NOTE:
Batteries in a low state of charge will
readily freeze. Freezing will damage the
battery.
If AC power is available:
The main battery disconnect switches should
remain
ON
. The inverter will charge both house
and engine battery banks. A 30 Amp shore
power service is adequate.
CAUTION:
A 20 Amp service using light duty
extension cords and the required
adapters create serious voltage losses.
Line voltage loss and the resistance
at each electrical connection is a
hazardous combination and should be
avoided. Damage to voltage sensitive
electronic equipment may result!
Surfaces to park/store the motorhome on:
Avoid parking the motorhome on a grass
or gravel surface to prevent moisture
accumulation.
Concrete pads seal the surface and allow
better ventilation under the motorhome.
Storage buildings with concrete
fl
oors, or
heated storage facilities, greatly reduce
the amount of moisture accumulation
and protects the motorhome from
moisture damage.
Outdoor Storage Area:
The interior should be heated to help
prevent mold and mildew growth.
Moisture removing desiccate
fi
lter
systems are available from hardware and
RV supply stores. Place the
fi
lter system
inside the motorhome to reduce interior
moisture condensation or humidity.
Proper winterization of the fresh water
system will prevent potential damage in
extreme cold.
Ultraviolet radiation affects soft goods
and rubber products such as privacy
curtains, window shades and tires. These
items should be protected. Store Day/
Night Shades in the Up position.
Cardboard templates can be made for
the windows to protect the interior from
exposure to direct sunlight.
Tire covers are available to protect the
sidewall of the tires from cracking. Make
sure tires in storage contain the correct
air pressure to prevent damaged caused
by under-in
fl
ation.
Regularly wash the exterior to help
control moss accumulation. Waxing the
motorhome twice a year will augment
these substances.
Inspect the motorhome:
Perform a full interior
inspection
for
water leaks every two weeks while the
motorhome is in storage. Check inside
all cabinets for signs of dampness or
leaks.
Inspect
the ceiling areas around
roof vents or other roof openings.
Inspect and clean the roof and sidewall
seams at least twice a year.
Inspect
for
exterior sealant gaps of all roof seams,
vents, skylights, roof air conditioners
and windows.
Fuel:
Storing the motorhome with a full fuel tank
will minimize moisture condensing at the top
of the tank. Diesel fuel is an organic material
which will develop a microbe growth (black
slime). Fuel stabilizers may be added to control
microbe growth and degrading of the fuel.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s owner’s
manual or a distributor for further detailed
information on fuel stabilizers and additives.
