Coming Home
When you come home, there are a few maintenance tasks you should do to get your Roadtrek ready to go for next time. Refer to other sections in
this manual for the procedures listed here.
• On your way home, dump the gray and black tanks at a convenient facility. Visit the owner’s section of our website to read the HOWTO:
Wastewater Dumping guide for a concise description of the procedure to do this. Some RV parks and gas stations will let you dump for a
fee, some city wastewater plants will let you dump for free but there is no real pattern, so local knowledge is vital in locating dump stations.
The website

• At home, flush the water tank and fill it with fresh chlorinated water if you will be using it in the next few days. Otherwise, drain the tank. Don't
let water you are planning to use sit in your tank for more than a week or so, and don't let any water sit in your tank for more than two weeks,
whether you plan on using it or not. Over time, the chlorine goes away, and the microbes come out to play.
• To flush the tank, fill it using the fill port in the driver's side rear panel and open the freshwater tank drain under the tank at the rear of the
Roadtrek.
• Plug in overnight to fully charge batteries.
Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.
Turn off the battery disconnect switch to keep from draining your batteries.
• If you turn everything off and you have solar panels, the panels will keep your AGM coach batteries topped up while your Roadtrek is parked.
(non-lithium version). If you don't have solar panels, it would be prudent to check your coach battery state of charge every month or so and
charge them if necessary. If you don't turn everything off, even with solar panels, you will probably come back to dead batteries.
