BREAKING CAMP
Preparing the motorhome for travel will
require several small tasks. Properly securing
and storing items will help to prevent them
from getting lost or damaged. Below is a
checklist guide to reference when preparing to
break camp.
Outside Checklist:
Disconnect the cable TV and lower the
TV antenna.
Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
Retract awnings and secure them for
travel.
Close the primary LP-Gas tank valve.
Connect the sewer hose.
Drain and fl ush holding tanks. Start
by closing the grey water valve. Run
enough cold water down sink and
shower drains to fi ll the grey tank at least
50%. Use caution to avoid overfi lling or
fl ooding the grey tank. Connect a non-
potable water hose to the “Water Inlet
Only” fi tting. Open the black tank
valve and allow adequate time for
black tank to drain. Close black
tank valve and open grey water
valve. Water from the grey tank
will help to fl ush the drain hose.
Once evacuated, close grey water
valve. Disconnect the sewer hose
and fl ush that hose with clean
water from a non-potable
hose. Store the hose.
Replace the sewer
cap.
Fill fresh water tank, then disconnect
fresh water hose from the source.
Store hose with end cap in place. If
applicable, remove the hose protection
water pressure regulator from the city
water faucet.
