during storage periods because the

batteries can lose electrolytic fluids

and become damaged from continu-

ous charging without periodic use.

We recommend following regular

battery inspection and maintenance,

especially in cold weather. See

REMOVAL FROM

STORAGE

1. Completely air out the motor home.

2. Have the entire LP gas system checked for

leaks.

3. Check window operation.

4. Check cabinet and door hinges. Lubricate

with penetrating oil, if necessary.

5. Close all faucets and drain valves that are

open. If necessary, reconnect toilet water line

and close flush valve.

6. Add a few gallons of water to the fresh water

tank and check for leaks especially at junc-

tions. Also make sure all hangers and sup-

ports are securely in place. Sanitize the water

system as outlined under “Disinfecting the

Fresh Water System” in Section 7.

7. Check operation of all faucets to be sure fau-

cet washers have not hardened during stor-

age.

8. Check sealing valve in the toilet for proper

operation and lubricate with silicone spray.

9. Add water to the holding tank using the toilet

flush pedal. Check to be sure dump valve

seals tightly.

10. Check around all appliances for obstructions

and ensure that all vent openings are clear.

11. Start refrigerator and check for proper cool-

ing.

12. Clean paneling and counter surfaces and

apply a thin coat of wax.

13. Replace batteries if necessary and check out

electrical system to make sure all lights and

electrical components operate.

14. Check tires for proper cold inflation pres-

sure.

15. After washing accumulated winter grime

from the vehicle, it is important to carefully

inspect the seams and sealants for separation

or cracks that may have appeared around the

window frames, vents and any other joints.

Re-sealing is quite simple and the material is

quickly and easily applied. Appropriate com-

pounds are available from your dealer. Also

inspect weather seals around doors, etc., and

if necessary, have a dealer replace immedi-

ately.
