1. DRAIN THE WATER SYSTEM
This might be the most critical step for winterizing your RV. Any water left in the plumbing system can freeze and break fittings and lines — damage that may be costly to repair.
2. PREP THE EXTERIOR
A service center can also do a thorough inspection of the roof, sidewalls, seams, windows, exterior doors and access panels — and reseal or re-caulk any holes or cracks. That will help prevent water getting in where it shouldn't — and help protect you from potentially costly repairs come spring.
3. CHOOSE A SAFE LOCATION
If you're planning to store your RV in your driveway or yard, try to find a location that's sheltered from the wind, and park the RV out of the way of any trees that may come down in a wind or ice storm.
4. COVER UP YOUR RV
The cover will protect against extended exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays that can damage the paint finish. It will also protect your vehicle from wind damage, tree sap and bird droppings.
5. PROTECT THE TIRES
Tires may be susceptible to damage due to UV rays from the sun. Protect your tires with covers that are often available at your RV dealership. In addition, Tires may lose pressure during storage; so be sure to check the tires and inflate them again before taking your RV out on the road again.
6. SAVE YOUR BATTERIES
Disconnect the batteries and store them in a cool — but not cold — and dry place. Batteries will lose some of their charge in storage; the cool temperature slows that loss. Check the charge every four to six weeks with a voltmeter or multimeter, and charge the batteries as necessary to keep them fully charged. This is important because a partially charged battery may freeze faster than a fully charged one. Freezing can damage or destroy the batteries.
7. ADD FUEL STABILIZER
Gas can go bad over time resulting in sticky resin deposits. Those gummy deposits are caused by oxidation — and they can damage an engine. So be sure to use a fuel stabilizer, which prevents the deposits from forming.
8. MAKE IT CRITTER-RESISTANT
Mice and squirrels enjoy making their winter home in an RV, where they may chew through wiring, plastic and rubber components. To discourage the rodents, remove temptation: Be sure to remove all food from the RV, then thoroughly clean the refrigerator, freezer, cupboards, countertops and floors.
9. CHECK UP ON YOUR STORED RV
If possible, do a quick inspection of your stored RV every few weeks while it's in storage.
Follow these nine tips to help ensure your RV is ready to hit the road again in the spring.🤗
