RV Storage Tips

Protect Against Pests


1. Insect and rodent repellent pouches
  • Amazon sells RV rodent and pest pouch repellents 


2. Remove all food and liquids
  • Any food or liquids left will attract pests

3. Seal any cracks that pest might be able to get into
  • Make it difficult for pests entries

RV Tanks


1. Dump and Flush Tanks
  • Empty both the black and gray water tanks completely.
  •  Use a tank cleaning wand or a built-in flushing system to rinse out any residue.

2. Clean and Add Treatment
  •  Clean the tanks with a special cleaner designed for RV tanks. 
  • Add a holding tank treatment to prevent odors and maintain a healthy environment

3. Close Valves 
  • Ensure that all tank valves are closed to prevent any remaining water from leaking out and to avoid any pests from entering.

RV Protections

1. Proper Ventilation
  • Use vent covers that allow air circulation while keeping out rain and pests to prevent mold and mildew.

2. Protect the Wheels
  • Use RV tire covers to shield the tires from UV rays and weather, preventing cracking and dry rot.

3. Fuel Stabilizer 
  • Add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent the fuel from breaking down and causing engine problems. Run the engine for a few minutes to ensure the stabilizer circulates through the system.
