Here are some essential tips to help you winterize your RV effectively, and have it well protected from the harshness of winter.
Inspect and Seal: Begin by thoroughly inspecting your RV for any leaks, cracks, or gaps that could allow cold air or moisture to seep in. Seal these areas with weatherproofing materials to create a barrier against the elements.
Drain Water Systems: Prevent frozen pipes by draining fresh water, gray water, and black water tanks. Flush the plumbing system with non-toxic RV antifreeze to protect against freezing temperatures.
Battery Care: Remove the RV battery and store it in a temperature-controlled location to prevent freezing. Regularly charge it to maintain its health throughout the winter.
Interior Maintenance: Clean and declutter the interior to discourage pests and rodents from seeking shelter. Leave cabinet doors ajar to promote airflow and reduce moisture buildup.
Tires: Inflate your RV tires to the manufacturer's recommended pressure and place the vehicle on sturdy blocks to prevent tire damage from the cold ground.
Cover or Shelter: If possible, park your RV under a protective covering or invest in a quality RV cover to shield it from snow, ice, and harsh winds.
Check-ins: Periodically check on your RV during the winter to ensure it's weathering the conditions well. Clear off any accumulated snow to prevent excess weight on the roof.
Stay Ventilated: Use vent covers to allow for proper ventilation even when the RV is closed, preventing moisture buildup and mold growth.
