Trailer Body Maintenance
Locks and Latches
Locks need regular maintenance to ensure they operate correctly and stay free from corrosion. Diligent use of WD40
or Inox will help in this regard. Both locks and latches need to be checked for adjustment to ensure correct seal
compression.
Rubber Seals
Rubber seals are critical in reducing or eliminating dust and water ingress. Damaged or worn seals should be replaced
immediately. Seals that are overly compressed will stay flattened and be less effective. (See maintenance schedule)
Sealants
Regular checking of sealants will help avoid any likelihood of water ingress on your trailer. Off road use can cause
mechanical damage to seals from vegetation and stones striking the trailer body. 6 monthly inspections should be
undertaken, and any necessary repairs made.
Winterizing the Trailer
Winterising your trailer is an important part of storage during the winter months to avoid damage to water lines, pumps,
and appliances such as hot water systems.
For appliances such as hot water systems, consult the product user manual for winterizing the appliance.
To winterize your trailer, follow the steps outlined below.

until all water is expelled.

8. Reinsert water tank drain plugs.
9. Turn off all taps.
Water Heater Bypass Not Installed
1. Fully drain all water in system, including hot water appliance and storage tanks.
2. Pour 6 gallons of drinking water safe, non-toxic antifreeze into the water tank.
3. Run each tap, both hot and cold until antifreeze is through. This includes all shower and sink outlets.
4. Pour 1 pint of antifreeze in each sink and shower drain.

Winter Storage
Storing your trailer unused through winter requires maintenance, particularly the batteries. Ensure the batteries are
regularly charged and conditioned during storage, at least monthly.
