Below is a checklist guide to reference when preparing to break camp.
Preparing the motorhome for travel will require several small tasks. Properly
securing and storing items will help prevent them from getting lost or being
damaged during travel.
Outside Checklist:
• Disconnect the cable TV, lower the television antenna and (if applicable)
the satellite dish.
• Disconnect and stow the phone line.
• Retract the awnings and secure them for travel.
• Close LP-Gas tank valve. Check the level of the LP-Gas Tank to
ensure a sufficient amount is available.
• Drain and flush the holding tanks. First close the grey water valve,
run enough cold water down the sink and shower drains until the grey
tank is at least 50% full. Be careful not to overfill or flood the grey
tank. Next, open the black tank valve allowing the drain cycle to
complete. If applicable, connect a non-potable water hose to the
No-Fuss hose bib and flush the black tank system. Close the black tank
valve, open the grey water valve. The water from the grey tank will
help flush the solids from the drain hose.
• Disconnect the sewer hose. Flush hose with clean water from a
non-potable hose. Store the hose. Install the sewer cap.
