OUTDOOR WINTER STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
EXTERIOR: Outdoor winter storage requires certain precautions to prevent condensation of
excessive moisture which can cause musty odors and mold. If you decide that it is important to
protect your vehicle in areas of heavy precipitation through the use of a vinyl type tarp, do not cover
the unit in such a way that no air can circulate. If your unit is covered, it is important to provide some
air circulation within the unit by cracking a roof vent and a window.
Check the roof for areas that may need resealed. Snow should not be allowed to accumulate on the
roof. The action of thawing and freezing could cause damage to vents and other items attached to
the roof.
If the unit is stored uncovered, it is necessary to close roof vents, windows and door tightly to prevent
moisture from entering the unit.
Always support the camper at the corners and outside walls. IMPORTANT: You must support
camper correctly as set out in the diagram (Page 21A). Incorrect placement of blocking will
result in damage to the sub floor and/or waste and fresh w ater tanks.
INTERIOR: The interior requires little preparation for winter storage. All appliances, both electrical
and LP Gas should be turned off. Make sure that the LP Gas tanks are also turned off. All electricity
