SECTION 10

STORING YOUR MOTOR HOME

10-1

PREPARING VEHICLE FOR

STORAGE

Properly preparing your vehicle for storage

will lessen the possibility of damage to your

vehicle. Prepare the motor home for vacancy just

as you would if you were leaving your house for

an extended period:

· Remove all perishables from cabinets and re-

frigerator

· Prop refrigerator door open.

· Turn off LP gas tank.

· Drain water heater, water tank and holding

tank.

· Drain optional washer/dryer. (See “Washer/

Dryer Winterizing” at the end of this section.

· Close shades to protect upholstery from sun-

light

When storing your vehicle through the

winter, or in cold climates, extra preparations

need to be made to protect systems that can be

damaged by freezing temperatures.

Cold Weather Storage

Procedure (Winterizing)

1. Clean and dump holding tanks by following

steps A, B, and C

A. Add water to the sewage holding tank

by holding the toilet flush lever open

with the water pump running. Add wa-

ter to the waste water holding tanks by

opening the kitchen, shower and lavato-

ry faucets. Tanks should be about 1/4 to

1/3 full to rinse properly. Driving to a

disposal site will normally loosen and

rinse any waste material from the sides

of the tank.

B. Completely drain the sewage and waste

water holding tanks at an approved

waste disposal site. Drain the sewage

tank first so the following waste water

can rinse any waste solids from the

dump outlet and sewer hose.

C. Close dump valves and refit the dust cap

onto the drain outlet.

2. Level the motor home and drain the entire

plumbing system as described in the follow-

ing steps.

3. Open all drain valves. (See the water system

drain valve chart on page 7-7 and 7-8 for

locations on your model.)

NOTE: If your coach is equipped with a water

purifier system, you will need to remove

the filter cartridge and install the divert-

er plug supplied. The cartridge is located

beneath the galley sink counter. The di-

verter plug must be removed and a filter

cartridge installed before resuming nor-

mal use of the water system. The plug is

intended for winterization only.

4. Remove and discard the water purifier filter

cartridge.

· Raise the valve handle and turn the col-

ored ring fully clockwise.

· Twist the filter cartridge counterclockwise

about a quarter-turn and pull it down and

out of the filter head.
