RV Storage
Properly preparing your RV for storage during periods of non-usage will prevent
problems from arising. It will also make it easier to get started again for the following
camping trip or season. To prevent costly freeze-ups, winterize the plumbing system
when it will not be in use for an extended period of time, especially if it is stored in
colder climates.
Prior to Storage
Store your RV indoors, under a roof or a “breathable” cover for use during storage.
To prevent weather checking and other UV damage, cover tires exposed to sun-
light.
Thoroughly wash the interior and the exterior of your RV.
Do not use the stabilizing jacks during storage.
Check the roof and other surfaces to ensure there is no damage and potential leak-
age that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Inspect and seal off any area that offers an entry point for rodents, birds or insects.
Cover all external outlets (i.e. furnace, vents etc.). Damage from birds, rodents,
insect, etc., is not covered under the “Towable Limited Warranty” applicable to
your RV.
Close all windows and roof vents.
Cover the roof air conditioner (if so equipped).
