• Review owner’s manual for engine, LP gas, generator, water heater and sanitation system storage tips.
• Remove all perishable food from cabinets.
• Turn off the refrigerator. Verify all power sources are off by checking 12 volt, 110 volt and LP gas.
•  Remove all food from the refrigerator. Clean the inside, and leave the door open to ventilate.
• Clean rooftop and air conditioner filters, and cover the outside unit.
• Clean the interior of the RV. Pull shades, and close blinds.
• Turn off the propane cylinders, and cover the regulator.
• Cover or tape vents to the furnace and range hood for long-term storage.
• Ensure all roof vents and windows are closed. Prevent condensation if necessary by using chemical-type dehumidifiers.
• Check tire pressure, and cover the tires, if they will be exposed to the sun.
• Inspect roof, body, interior, soft molding and caulking.
• Service locks with spray lubricant to prevent rust and freezing.
• Remove batteries. Store batteries in an area not subject to freezing, and test them periodically. Charge if necessary.
• In motor homes, check all operating fluid levels under the hood, and top off the gasoline tank. Add a fuel stabilizer.
• Empty and thoroughly rinse all holding tanks. In winter, all water tanks, lines and pumps should be drained and filled with non-toxic RV antifreeze to keep any remaining water from freezing the system. Never use automobile antifreeze of any kind in your water system!
