• If possible, park your RV or motorhome in a heated garage or storage area.  If you do not have access to such a storage facility consider purchasing tarps to help shield your RV from the elements
• Park your RV on a level surface.  Cement pads are usualy the best surface to park on.
• Disconnect the batteries (as some appliances draw electricity even when not in use)
• Unplug all appliances (Be sure to consult your owner's manual when disconnecting and appliances or water lines)
• Drain all water lines and water systems including any holding tanks and the water heater
• Lubricate any moving pieces such as hinges or other mechanical parts of the RV
• Before storing for the winter clean the interior of your RV
• Remove everything from the refrigerator and turn off the refrigerator
• Clean the refrigerator and leave the refrigerator door open
• Service your RV or motorhome with an oil change prior to storage
• Clean the exterior of the RV
• Check the tire pressure, fill the tires to full while being stored.
• Make a point to start your motorhome each month as it is being stored. This will allow for circulation of the engine fluids as well as testing of the battery
