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 sunlight.
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 leakage
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).
Close the propane cylinder valve(s). We recommend using a propane cylinder cover,
and to make sure the propane regulator is covered. If is equipped with a gas/electric
DSI range, light a range gas burner to consume any gas remaining in the lines. Once
the flame extinguishes itself, turn the burner valve OFF.
Drain all water lines. Make sure the RV is winterized
