of the linings.
Engine:
• Internal combustion engines need to be “exercised”
on a regular basis. This will ensure that an adequate
supply of lubricating oil coats the cylinder walls and
piston rings. Valve and valve seat surfaces also suffer
from non-use. Some valves will remain open depending
at which part of the combustion cycle the engine has
stopped. The heat and cold of the day allows moisture
to accumulate through the exhaust system.
Electric Motors:
• Electric motors in the motorhome should be operated
occasionally to help lubricate and keep surfaces rotat-
ing freely. These items include the roof air condition-
ers, dash fans, dash blower motor, furnace, heat
exchangers and powered roof vents.
• Plumbing Lines - Drain and protect by filling with approved RV
antifreeze.
• Fresh Water Tank - Drain.
• Body - Clean and wax. Oil locks and hinges. Repair roof seams as
needed.
• Countertop and Cabinets - Wash with mild soap and water.
• Curtains - Remove and clean according to care specifications.
• Windows - To protect the interior fabric from fading, cover windows
by pulling blinds, closing shades or using a separate cover such as a
sheet.
• Holding Tank - Drain and rinse. Close valves.
Add a small amount of antifreeze to keep valves and gaskets
lubricated.
• Drain Traps - Pour RV antifreeze down all drains.
• Batteries - Add distilled water and recharge if needed. Disconnect the
cables. Remove the batteries and store them in a cool dry place. Check
and recharge as needed. Never park the coach where the battery door
can not be opened.
• Refrigerator - Clean and leave both doors propped open. Cover the
exterior panels and roof vents.
• Air Conditioner - Remove the air filters. Clean or replace.
• Roof - Keep clear of snow accumulation or damage may occur.
• Interior/Exterior - Storing under cover or indoors helps extend
interiorand exterior life.
• Fuel Tank - Diesel fuel tank should be full of fuel.
