RVs, boats and trailers represent significant investments. Winterizing them properly protects them from costly damage caused by freezing temperatures and moisture. Here’s a comprehensive checklist:

Follow the owner’s manual

Every model is different. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific storage guidelines.

Remove food and liquids

• Empty cabinets, refrigerators and coolers. Take out anything that can freeze or attract pests.
• Drain all water from tanks, heaters and lines. Open valves and use compressed air to push out remaining water.

Clean and lubricate

• Wash and wax the exterior to protect paint.
• Oil and lubricate stabilizer jacks and slide‑out units.
• Apply rust inhibitor to metal parts.

Treat water systems with antifreeze

• Use non‑toxic antifreeze in water lines, water heaters and holding tanks.
• Drain hoses and store them separately.

Protect power and fuel systems

• Disconnect batteries and store them in a dry place. Use a trickle charger if needed.
• Change oil and transmission fluid and fill fuel tanks.

Store tires and seals

• Clean tires, inflate to recommended pressure and apply tire sealer to prevent dry rot.
• Inspect and re‑caulk any gaps or cracks in seals.
