Electric Motors:
Electric motors in the motorhome should be operated occasionally to help
lubricate and keep surfaces rotating freely. These items include the roof air
conditioners, dash fans, dash blower motor, furnace or Aqua Hot motors, heat
exchangers and powered roof vents.
• Plumbing Lines - Drain and protect by filling with
approved RV antifreeze.
• Fresh Water Tank - Drain.
• Body - Clean and wax. Oil locks and hinges. Repair
roof seams as needed.
• Countertop and Cabinets - Wash with mild soap
and water.
• Curtains - Remove and clean according to care specifications.
• Windows - To protect the interior fabric from fading, cover windows by
pulling blinds, closing shades or using a separate cover such as a sheet.
• Holding Tank - Drain and rinse. Close valves.
Add a small amount of antifreeze to keep valves and gaskets
lubricated.
• Drain Traps - Pour RV antifreeze down all drains.
• Refrigerator - Clean and leave both doors propped open. Cover
the exterior panels and roof vents.
• Batteries - Add distilled water and recharge if needed. If applica-
ble, disconnect the cables. Remove the batteries and store them in a
cool dry place. Check and recharge as needed. Never park the
coach where the battery door cannot be opened.
• Air Conditioner - Remove the air filters. Clean or replace.
• Roof - Keep clear of snow accumulation or damage may occur.
• Interior/Exterior - Storing under cover or indoors helps extend
interior and exterior life.
• Fuel Tank - Diesel fuel tank should be full of fuel.
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 moving 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.
