What should I do before storing my RV for the winter?
Think through your RV from the outside in. Get it parked and stable, protect it from weather and pests, take care of the battery, and winterize the plumbing before freezing temperatures arrive. Your exact checklist will depend on your RV and where it will spend the winter.
What should I do to winterize my RV?
Drain the plumbing system, add RV antifreeze where needed, blow out water lines, treat your holding tanks, and manage moisture inside the RV to help prevent freezing and mold.
How do I keep rodents out of my RV during storage?
Seal entry points when possible, remove food sources, and use rodent deterrents designed for RV storage to discourage pests while your RV is parked.
Should I cover my RV during winter storage?
A storage cover can help protect your RV from sun, rain, snow, and other exposure while it sits. The right cover depends on your RV and how and where it's stored.
What should I do with my RV batteries during storage?
Keep batteries charged with a battery maintainer or smart charger, and disconnect them if your RV will be stored for an extended period. Proper battery maintenance helps extend battery life and improves reliability when you're ready to travel again.
