STORING YOUR UNIT...
Depending upon your area and where your unit is stored, your camper may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect your camper, never leave food inside the unit
and ensure that all surfaces are clean. You may want to place rodent control products in the
unit during periods of storage. Mice and other rodents can do a tremendous amount of
damage to the drapes, cushions, etc. particularly during the winter months. Storing units in
fields make them particularly inviting to rodents. Periodically inspect your unit during
storage and seal off any areas which can offer an entry point to rodents or insects. Please
remember to remove any screens or tape you have used to seal openings before you use the
camper again. Special interest publications, such as articles and books offered through TL
Enterprises (Trailer Life, Motorhome, etc.) can offer additional and practical advice on the
proper storage of your camper. Damage from rodents or insects is not covered under your
Jayco Limited Warranty.

NOTE: When storing your travel trailer, it is recommended that the battery be
unhooked to avoid draining the battery.
WINTERIZING
Preparing your recreation vehicle for winter is very important for most states and Canada.
Failure to prepare the coach will cause the supply lines and the water heater to freeze
causing breakage. Repairs due to freezing are not be covered under the terms of your Jayco
Limited Warranty.
Please keep in mind that your towable RV was not designed for use during sub-freezing
weather.
There is no commodity or product that can be added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection while the system is in use, other than RV antifreeze. Do not drink water
that contains antifreeze. This includes non-toxic RV antifreeze.
I
WARNING: Do not use Ethylene Glycol (automotive antifreeze) or
Methanol (windshield washer antifreeze) in your fresh water system.
They are harmful to the water system and may be fatal if swallowed.
There are two methods of winterizing your trailer based upon your models floor plan.
Please read, understand and follow all instructions before beginning.
Air Pressure (all models)
This method will utilize an air hose to blow excess water from the water lines.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty.
2. Run the pump until it is dry, this will take approximately 15-20 seconds.
3. If your unit has the utility center, make sure that the five (5) valves are set up in the
antifreeze/sanitize configuration.
4. Using an air hose and adapter, blow air through the city water connection.
5. Leave the faucets, drains and toilets open. Any remaining water will blow out in five
to ten minutes.
6. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze into all drain P-traps.
