Packing Down & Storage
Packing Down Your Travel Trailer
When packing down your travel trailer ensure the following:
• All propane and electric appliances are turned off.
• Propane is turned off at the propane cylinder.
• All loose items are secured and unable to move and damage themselves or the trailer.
• All cabinet doors are secured and locked along with all drawers closed.
• Site power lead is removed and stowed.
• The doorstep is raised and secured.
• All roof hatches lowered and secure.
• All windows closed and locked.
• Main door is closed and locked.
• All dust covers in place and secure.
• Secure Bathroom doors and closed toilet.
Long Term Storage
To maximize the life of your travel trailer you should consider additional protection from the elements. UV light and moisture
can have an adverse effect on materials when left unprotected outside. This section outlines some of the things you can do as an
owner to protect your investment.
Interior
Moisture in the smallest amounts can cause mold. High humidity and cooling temperatures can create condensation, additionally
condensation can form under mattresses due to temperature differences between warm bodies on top and the bed base being
cold from outside temperatures. As a precaution you can do the following:
• Check under mattress for moisture before packing up. If moisture is found allow it to thoroughly dry before closing your
camper.
• Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/dehumidifier packs in the RV to draw away any residual water vapour.
• If packing up in damp or humid conditions, open and dry out the caravan at the first opportunity when returning home.
Exterior
Ensure all seals on the travel trailer have proper compression at 30-50%, are free of dirt and have nothing protruding past the
seals. UV light and the elements can over time cause seals and fittings to perish and become brittle. The use of a trailer cover will
extend the life of components and keep your investment looking better for longer.
Battery
When storing your RV, all DC loads should be turned off and isolated to ensure the battery system is not drained. It is
recommended that it remains at 50% charge and recharged every 3 months when stored.

Security
Your trailer is supplied with an MDC engineered coupling lock device. This device
is designed and manufactured to deter the theft of your new trailer.
How to attach your lock to your Cruisemaster DO-35 coupling:
1. Make sure the dust cap is securely connected to
the bump cover. This is done by locating the rear lip
on the dust cap onto the groove of the bump cover
and then pushing it in a downward motion until the
dust cover is secure (there should be a slight click
when it has been assembled correctly). Test if the
dust cover is connected to the bump cover by
applying a slight upward force to the dust cover, it
should not separate.
2. Slot the pin into the centre of the coupling, aligning the back tab to run in-between the gap at the rear of the coupling.
3. Insert padlock.
