BREAKING CAMP
Preparing the motorhome for travel will
require several small tasks. Properly securing
and storing items will help to prevent them
from getting lost or damaged. Below is a
checklist guide to reference when preparing to
break camp.
Outside Checklist:
Disconnect the cable TV and lower the
TV antenna.
Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
Retract awnings and secure them for
travel.
Close the primary LP-Gas tank valve.

Drain and ush holding tanks. Start
by closing the grey water valve. Run
enough cold water down sink and
shower drains to ll the grey tank at least
50%. Use caution to avoid over lling or
ooding the grey tank. Connect a non-
potable water hose to the “Water Inlet
Only” tting. Open the black tank
valve and allow adequate time for
black tank to drain. Close black
tank valve and open grey water
valve. Water from the grey tank
will help to ush the drain hose.

valve. Disconnect the sewer hose
and ush that hose with clean
water from a non-potable
hose. Store the hose.
