2. Add antifreeze to the fresh water system. This will help to prevent the water from freezing and damaging the pipes. You should use a non-toxic antifreeze that is specifically designed for use in RVs.
3. Blow out the water lines. This will help to remove any remaining water from the lines and prevent them from freezing. To blow out the water lines, you will need an air compressor. Connect the air compressor to the city water inlet and turn on the air. Open each faucet and shower one at a time and let the air blow out the water.
4. By-pass the water heater. This will prevent the water heater from being damaged by the antifreeze. To bypass the water heater, close the valves on the inlet and outlet pipes.
5. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. This will help to prevent the fuel from going bad during storage. You should use a fuel stabilizer that is specifically designed for use in RVs.
6. Charge the batteries. This will help to keep the batteries from going dead during storage. You can charge the batteries using a battery charger or by running the generator.
7. Cover the RV. This will help to protect the RV from the elements. You can use a tarp, a RV cover, or a combination of both.
8. Store the RV in a dry, sheltered location. This is crucial for preventing damage to the RV from the elements. If possible, store the RV in a garage or under a carport. If you cannot store the RV in a garage or under a carport, make sure to cover it well.
9. Check the RV regularly. This is crucial for ensuring that the RV is in good condition and that there are no problems. Check the RV for leaks, pests, and other damage. You should also check the tires, brakes, and other safety features.
By following these steps, you can help to winterise your motorhome and protect it from the elements.
