LONG-TERM STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE LONG-TERM STORAGE
Long-term storage here refers to extended storage during which the motorhome is not used (e.g. over the winter).
• Clean the motorhome.
Wash and wax the bodywork.
Clean the underside of the motorhome.
Clean the interior.
• Empty the refrigerator.
Leave the refrigerator (and, where applicable, freezer
compartment) door slightly open.
• Remove cushions and textiles.
Store them in a dry place indoors.
• Drain and clean the fresh water system.
For instructions, see “Use”.
Leave the fresh water tank’s drain cock in the open
position.
• Drain the water heater.
Leave the drain valve in the open position.
• Ensure that all water taps are in the open position for
both hot and cold water.
• If a water purifier (option) has been fitted, remove it.
See separate instructions.
• Drain and clean the grey water system.
For instructions , see “Use”.
Leave the grey water tank open by not putting the plug
back in the flushing outlet. This avoids condensation in
the grey water tank.
• Ensure that the shower drain is empty and, where
necessary, protected against frost.
• Place a dehumidifier (desiccant) in the motorhome.
• Lubricate locks, hinges and door/hatch strips.
• Remove the starter battery and the living area’s
battery .
Charge the batteries.
Store the batteries in a frost-free and dry place.
Trickle charge the batteries every third month.
See the “Descriptions – Electrical system” section.
• Ensure that the fluid in the heating system has
sufficient frost protection (glycol).
• Ease the load on the wheels. To avoid tyre
deformation , increase tyre pressure.
• Leave cupboards, wardrobes, drawers and sofa lids
slightly open so that all areas in the motorhome are
ventilated.
• Fit the winter hatch to the refrigerator’s ventilation
grille.
• Close the gas bottle’s master valve and all gas supply
valves.
• Fill with fuel. This avoids condensation forming in the
tank.
Recommended
• Clean the toilet, its connections and waste tank.
See the manufacturer’s instructions for storage and
avoiding damage caused by freezing.
• Increase tyre pressure.
