Exterior & Interior Care
If the motorhome was properly and carefully prepared for storage,
removing it from storage will not be difficult. The following checklist
pertains to items or areas which should be checked before operating or mov-
ing the motorhome. If the motorhome was not properly winterized, extensive
freeze damage or other serious deterioration may have occurred. Consult a
dealer or an authorized service center for advice.
• Thoroughly inspect the outside of motorhome. Look for animal
nests in the wheel wells or in other out of the way places.
• Remove all appliance flue vent covers, ceiling vent covers and
air conditioning covers. Be sure the refrigerator openings are
free of debris, insect nests, webs, etc.
• Open all doors and compartments. Check for animal or insect
intrusion, water damage or other types of damage which may
have occurred.
• Check the state of charge of the batteries. If necessary fill the
cells with distilled water only and charge as necessary. Inspect
the cable ends and terminals. They should be clean and free of
corrosion.
• Check all the chassis fluid levels: engine oil, engine coolant,
hydraulic fluid reservoir, transmission oil and rear axle oil.
• Start the engine, allowing it to reach operating temperature.
Ensure the engine instruments are indicating proper readings.
• While the engine is running check the operation of headlights,
taillights, turn signals, back-up lights, license plate light and
emergency flasher. Operate the dash air conditioner. If the air
conditioner does not work, or the compressor makes unusual
noises, have the system checked by a qualified air conditioner
technician.
• Shut the engine down. Adjust or add fluids as necessary. Inspect
the engine for fluid leaks. Look under the motorhome for any
other type of fluid leaks.
• Drain, sanitize and flush the fresh water system as outlined in
the Water Systems - Section 6 . Inspect the sewer drain hose and
connections for leaks. Replace if necessary.
• Operate all faucets and fixtures in the fresh water system. Run
a sufficient amount of fresh water through all the water lines
and faucets to thoroughly purge any potable antifreeze from the
fresh water system.
NOTE: Discard at least the first two trays of ice from the icemaker
to ensure the ice does not contain traces of antifreeze or other
contaminates.
