Properly preparing your motor home for
storage during periods of non-usage will
prevent problems from arising. It will also
make it easier to get started again for the
following camping trip or season. To prevent
costly freeze-ups, winterize the plumbing
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.
Wash and wax the exterior of the vehicle.
Do a sealant inspection and repair as
necessary.
Adding fuel stabilizer to the generator will
aid in preventing condensation and fuel
varnishing.
Inspect and clean tires. Check for wear,
cracks and inflation pressure.
Inspect under the motor home for any
openings into the floor where animals or
insects may enter and seal if necessary.
Turn the furnace thermostat(s) to the OFF
position.
If your motor home 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.
You may want to place rodent control
products in the vehicle during storage.
Rodents can do damage to the interior
components, particularly during the winter
months.
Remove all perishables from the
refrigerator/freezer. Defrost, wash and
dry the interior of the refrigerator/freezer
and prop (or block) the doors open so air
can circulate and prevent mildew.
Remove all perishables from the cabinets.
Leave the cabinets and doors ajar to allow
air circulation and prevent mildew and
musty odors.
Lubricate locks and hinges on exterior
doors.
Turn OFF the motor home 12-volt battery
disconnect switch.
Turn OFF the inverter mode at remote.
Disconnect the batteries to prevent battery
discharge.
While the motor home is being stored
If the vehicle is stored outside in areas of
heavy snow, you should periodically brush the
snow off to prevent excessive accumulation
and prevent possible roof damage.
Periodically inspect your motor home during
storage, and seal off any area that can offer
an entry point for rodents, birds or insects.
Also inspect the motor home for any damage.
Damage from birds, rodents, insects, etc.,
is not covered under the “Motorized
Transferable Limited Warranty” applicable
to your motor home.

trouble-free camping season:
Inspect and work all interior and exterior
latches and locks (lube if necessary).
Make sure the batteries are fully charged
and installed correctly.

disconnect switch.
Inspect the power cord and carefully clean
the contacts if necessary. Plug in the 50-
amp power cord to an appropriate power
source.
Turn on the interior lights and check
outlets for polarity. If needed, replace any
blown fuses. Check the circuit breakers
and test the GFCI.
