Listed 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.
• 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 non-potable hose, store the hose. Install
the sewer cap.
• Fill the fresh water tank. Disconnect and store the
fresh water hose. Remove any hose protected 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.
• Disconnect and stow the phone line.
• Inspect fluid level in oil bath hubs and check tire pres-
sure.
Engine Checklist:
• Inspect the engine, transmission and the engine com-
partment 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 any unusual noises.
