Motor Home Storage

Properly preparing your motor home 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:

1. Prepare the chassis for storage in accordance to the Chassis Guide. Remember to use fuel additives and supplements if recommended.
2. Wash and wax the exterior of the vehicle. Do a sealant inspection and repair as necessary.
3. Inspect and clean tires. Check for wear, cracks and inflation pressure.
4. 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 “Motorized Transferable Limited Warranty” applicable to your motor home.
5. Close all windows, roof vents and range hood vent.
6. Turn the furnace thermostat(s) to the OFF position (if equipped).
7. If your motor home 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.
8. Drain all water lines. Make sure the motor home is winterized.
9. Winterize the toilet and appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, clothes washer).
10. Drain and flush all holding tanks (fresh water, gray water, black water and/or hot water tanks).
11. Adding fuel stabilizer to the generator will aid in preventing condensation and fuel varnishing.
12. Turn OFF the motor home 12-volt battery disconnect switch.
13. Turn OFF the inverter mode at the remote.
14. Disconnect the batteries to prevent battery discharge.
15. Remove all perishables from the refrigerator/freezer. Defrost, wash and dry the interior of the refrigerator/freezer and prop (or block) the doors open so air can circulate and prevent mildew.
16. Remove all perishables from the cabinets. Leave the cabinets and doors ajar to allow air circulation and prevent mildew and musty odors.
17. Lubricate locks and hinges on exterior doors.

While the motor home is being stored

If the vehicle is stored outside in areas of heavy snow, you should periodically brush the snow off to prevent excessive accumulation and prevent possible roof damage.
