STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

leakage that might otherwise go unnoticed
until it is too late. Reseal as necessary.
Close all windows and roof vents.
Make sure vehicle is level.
If your motorhome is equipped with a
generator, adding a fuel stabilizer will aid
in preventing condensation and fuel
varnishing.
Inspect and clean tires. Check for wear,
cracks and inflation pressure. To prevent
weather checking and other UV damage,
cover tires that are exposed to sunlight.
Inspect under the motorhome for any
openings into the floor where animals or
insects may enter and seal if necessary.
You may want to place rodent control
products in the vehicle during storage.
Mice especially can do a tremendous
amount of damage to the drapes,
cushions, etc., particularly during the
winter months.
Turn the thermostat(s) OFF.
If your motorhome is equipped with a
gas/electric DSI range, light a range gas
burner to consume any gas remaining in
the lines. Once the flame extinguishes
itself, turn the burner valve OFF.
Turn all cushions on edge to prevent the
moisture/mildew buildup during storage.
Defrost, wash and dry the interior of the
refrigerator/freezer and prop (or block) the
doors open so air can circulate and
prevent mildew.
Turn off 12-volt DC/120-volt AC/propane
to the refrigerator; defrost and clean. Use
crumpled newspaper or open boxes of
baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate
odors during storage.
Remove all perishables from the cabinets.
Leave the cabinetry doors ajar to allow air
circulation and prevent mildew and musty
odors.
Lubricate locks and hinges on exterior
doors.
Turn OFF the inverter (if so equipped).
Turn OFF the motorhome 12-volt battery
disconnect switch.
Disconnect the batteries to prevent battery
discharge. Cover all external outlets, such
as furnace, exhaust, etc. to prevent mice
or other rodents from entering.
Remove all batteries from the RV and
store in a place where they won’t freeze.
Batteries that have been frozen will never
hold a proper charge.
Cover the roof air conditioner.
Disconnect 120-volt AC power to the RV.
Drain all water lines.
Drain and flush all tanks (fresh water, gray
water, black water, water heater, etc.)
Store your RV indoors under a roof. If you
choose to purchase a cover for use during
storage make sure it is “breathable.”
While the motorhome is being stored
In areas of heavy snow and if the vehicle is
stored outside, periodically brush the snow off
to prevent excessive accumulation and
prevent possible roof damage. Periodically
inspect your motorhome during storage, and
seal off any area that can offer an entry point.
Special interest publications, such as articles
and books offered through TL Enterprises
(Trailer Life, Motorhome, etc.) and other
publications relating to recreation vehicles can
offer additional and practical advice on the
proper storage of your recreation vehicle.
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.
