ROOF:
Inspect mounting points and ports. Reseal if sealant shows
signs of shrinking, cracking, or has become hard or brittle.
APPLIANCE VENTS:
Check all furnace, water heater, refrigerator, range hood,
and A/C vents for blockages. Remove nests created by pests
and other debris. Inspect periodically throughout the storage

Section of this manual.
PROPANE SYSTEM:
• Inspect all hoses, pipes, valves, joints, and couplers for
leaks. Refer to Propane Leak Test in Propane Section.
• Turn off all propane supply valves and appliances and
keep vents open, while preventing vents and intakes from
becoming blocked due to insects or rodent nests.
• After storage, inspect entire propane system, including
vents, before use.
INTERIOR:
• Remove all food items.
• Clean all interior surfaces and fabrics.
• Inspect the interior of the motorhome monthly while
in storage to make sure leaks have not developed, or
condensation has not formed that can cause damage to
interior components. Condensation can most readily
be observed as moisture accumulation on windows and
exterior surfaces. To reduce condensation, make sure to
ventilate the motorhome during storage.
• Use insect and rodent repellents to protect against dam-
age; following repellent manufacturer’s guidelines. Test
to ensure repellent will not damage surfaces.
CURTAINS AND BLINDS:
Close all the drapes and curtains, and protect the curtains
from sun fading by placing foil or paper between the windows
and the curtains/blinds.
MICROWAVE, COOKTOP, AND OVEN:
Clean interior and exterior surfaces with mild detergent and
water. Wipe dry. Ensure all appliances are OFF.
REFRIGERATOR:
Clean inside and outside surfaces. Leave doors propped slight-
ly open to allow for air circulation. Leave an opened box of
baking soda inside the refrigerator to prevent odors.
SINKS, TOILET, AND SHOWER:
Clean with disinfectant and dry. Pour one cup of nontoxic RV
antifreeze into the drains to prevent freezing. Wipe-up any
spilled antifreeze from surfaces.
