Best sources of information about
common household pests:
The Internet is a great place to find
information about common pests. The National
Pest Management Association web site can be
a useful resource for common pests. Another
good source for information are colleges and
universities with entomology (study of insects)
departments.
Electronic pest control devices can be
costly and most likely not work on all types
of rodents and insects. When calling on the
services of a professional to combat pest
infestation, call a reputable business that
is licensed in handling pesticides. Check
references. Explain services are needed for a
recreational vehicle, as treatments may differ
from standard household jobs.
If a pest problem is suspected in the
recreational vehicle, consider professional
pest control help. The following guidelines
can be used for selecting a pest control
service:
Seek referrals from those who have
used pest control services. Inquire
about the type of pest problem
encountered and if service was
satisfactory.
Membership in the national, state or
local pest control association is a good
indicator that the company has access
to modern technical information and is
committed to further education.
Reach a complete understanding with
the company before work starts; what
the pest is, how the problem will
be treated, how long the period of
treatment will be, and what results can
be expected.
Be sure to understand what is
guaranteed and what is not.
STORAgE
Short Term
Short term storage is defined as storing the
recreational vehicle for a period of thirty days
or less. Properly preparing the recreational
vehicle during periods of short term storage
will make bringing the recreational vehicle out
of storage a much easier process. Winterize
the plumbing system if the recreational vehicle
is stored in winter months or if stored when
temperatures are below 32º F.
Checklist - Short Term Storage:
Retract the slideout rooms. Do not
store
the recreational vehicle with slideout
rooms extended.
Shut off all appliances. Close the primary
propane valve.
Remove all articles from refrigerator/
freezer and clean thoroughly. Use storage
position to lock doors partially open to
reduce odor, mold and bacteria.
Drain holding tanks. Winterize the fresh
water system using FDA RV antifreeze
or air pressure to evacuate the plumbing
system.
Retract and secure all awnings.
If possible, store the recreational vehicle
inside a storage building.
If stored outside, inspect all seams and
seals twice a month for possible leakage.
Vents and windows should be closed to
prevent wind driven rain entrance.
Inflate tires to the maximum inflation
pressure as indicated on the Federal
Identification tag or sidewall of the tire.
Perform a full interior inspection for
water leaks twice a month. Be sure
to check behind all cabinet doors and
drawers.
Long Term
Long term storage of the recreational vehicle
can be defined as leaving a recreational vehicle
unattended for a period of 30 days or more.
When stored out in the environment without
proper maintenance, the recreational vehicle
is vulnerable to the moisture and oxidation
processes inherent in the environment.
There are preventative measures which
should be taken and preferable situations to
use when storing a recreational vehicle. Such
measures will aid in protecting and preventing
a recreational vehicle from the damaging
effects caused by an accumulation of moisture.
NOTE:
The natural process of moisture
accumulation in the air will occur with
temperature changes of 30º F. or more
in one day. Humidity readings of 60%
or greater will allow the accumulated
moisture to remain for extended
periods of time.
