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 refer-
ence when preparing to break camp.
Outside Checklist:
• Disconnect the cable TV and lower the satellite dish and/or
antenna.
• Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
• Retract awnings and secure them for travel.
• Close the primary LP-Gas tank valve.
• Connect the sewer hose.
• Drain and flush holding tanks. Start by closing the grey water
valve. Run enough cold water down the sink and shower drains
to fill the grey tank at least 50%. Use caution to avoid overfill-
ing or flooding the grey tank. Connect a non-potable water hose
to the "No-Fuss" hose bib, open the black tank valve, and allow
adequate time for the black tank to drain. Close the black tank
valve and open the grey water valve. Water from the grey tank
will help to flush the drain hose. Once evacuated, close the
grey water valve. Disconnect the sewer hose and flush that
hose with clean water from a non-potable hose. Store the
hose. Replace the sewer cap.
• Disconnect fresh water hose from the source and store with end cap in place. If applica-
ble, remove the hose protection water pressure regulator from the city water faucet.
• Turn shore power breaker off and disconnect the shore line. Wind up and store the shore
cord and secure the door.
• Inspect fluid level in oil bath hubs (if applicable) and check all tire pressures.
• Secure all compartment doors.
• Inspect tires and wheels.
• Check for fluid leaks under and around the motorhome.
Engine Checklist:
• Inspect the engine, transmission and the engine compartment for fluid leaks.
• Inspect the area under the motorhome for fluid leaks or puddles.
• Check all fluid levels: oil, antifreeze, transmission, hydraulic fluid and washer fluid.
• Inspect belts and hoses for wear.
• Inspect wiring for loose, frayed or corroded connections.
• Start engine and listen for unusual noises.
• Inspect gauges and controls for proper operation.

Cap the end of the hose before storage to prevent leakage and
to prevent dust and insects from entering hose.
