2012 Trip
Retract and secure all awnings.
Turn off the interior house power using
the battery cut-off switch.
Store house and chassis batteries
fully charged. Batteries stored in a
discharged state will readily freeze and
damage the battery.
If possible, position the motorhome
so the house and chassis batteries
are accessible for charging or
changing without having to move the
motorhome.
If AC power is not available, turn
both the house and chassis battery
disconnect switches off.
If available, leave the motorhome
hooked to shore power. Leave both the
house and chassis battery disconnect
switches on.
Careful placement of a small heat
source in the interior will help control
moisture. Desiccate filter systems will
help remove interior moisture.
If possible, store the motorhome inside
a storage building.
If stored outside,
inspect
all seams
and seals twice a month for possible
leakage.
Store the motorhome with a full fuel
tank to minimize moisture condensing
at top of fuel tank.
Close vents and windows to prevent
wind driven rain entrance.
Store tires at maximum inflation
pressure.
Leave cabinet doors and drawers open
to facilitate air movement behind those
areas.
Perform a full interior
inspection
for
water leaks twice a month. Be sure to
check behind all cabinet doors.
Long Term
Long term storage of the motorhome
can be defined as leaving a motorhome
unattended for a period of thirty days or
more. A motorhome requires protection from
the elements just as a house or a car would.
When left out in the environment without
proper storage or maintenance, a motorhome
is vulnerable to the moisture and oxidation
processes inherent in the environment.
NOTE:
The natural process of condensation
will occur with temperature changes
of 30º F. or more in one day. Humidity
readings of 60% or greater will allow
the accumulated moisture to remain
for extended periods of time.
If AC power is not available in storage
area:
Turn off all appliances.
Turn off interior house power using the
battery cut-off switch.
If possible, situate the motorhome so
the house and chassis batteries remain
accessible. This allows a battery to be
charged or replaced without moving the
motorhome.
Charge house and chassis batteries to a
full state of charge.
Turn both the house and chassis battery
disconnect switches off.
Check battery voltage while the
motorhome is in storage if stored outside.
Preventive measures should be used
if the voltage readings are low. It will
make it easier to remove the motorhome
from storage or move the motorhome in
an emergency situation.
NOTE:
Batteries in a low state of charge will
readily freeze and damage the battery.
If AC power is available:
The house and chassis battery disconnect
switches should remain on. The inverter will
charge both the house and chassis battery
banks. A 30 Amp shore power service will be
more than 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 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
floors, or heated storage facilities,
greatly reduce the amount of moisture
accumulation and protects the
motorhome from moisture damage.
