SECTION 12
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
system when it will not be in use for an
extended period of time, especially if it is
stored in colder climates.
Prepare the chassis for storage in
accordance to the Chassis Guide.
Remember to use fuel additives and
supplements if so recommended.
Check your roof and other surfaces to
ensure there is no damage and potential
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.
Do not use
the hydraulic leveling jacks, as they
tend to seep down over time.
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 holding 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.
Snow or ice places excessive weight on
the RV roof. Remove 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.
