As the crisp autumn air gives way to the chill of winter, it’s time to start thinking about how to protect your RV from the harsh weather ahead. Properly winterizing your RV is crucial to ensuring it stays in top condition and is ready for your next adventure when the weather warms up. At Cedarlane RV Resort, we’re here to make winterizing and storing your RV as simple and stress-free as possible for our seasonal guests.
Why Winterizing Your RV is Essential
Winterizing your RV is not just about protecting it from freezing temperatures; it's about preserving its functionality and extending its lifespan. Water lines, tanks, and systems can be particularly vulnerable to cold weather, which can lead to costly repairs if not properly maintained. By taking a few key steps to winterize your RV, you’ll avoid damage and ensure it’s ready to go when spring arrives.
Helpful Winterizing Tips
Drain All Water Systems: Start by emptying your fresh water tank and draining the water lines, including the hot and cold faucets. Don’t forget to drain the water heater as well. Residual water left in the lines can freeze and expand, causing cracks and leaks.
Add Antifreeze: Use RV-specific antifreeze to protect your plumbing system. Pour it into the water lines and faucets, and ensure that it reaches all areas of your RV’s plumbing system. Be sure to follow the instructions on the antifreeze bottle for the correct amount to use.
Protect the Battery: Remove your RV’s battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Ensure it’s fully charged and use a battery maintainer to keep it in good condition throughout the winter months.
Seal All Gaps and Openings: Inspect your RV for any gaps or openings that could allow cold air or moisture inside. Seal these with weatherstripping or other suitable materials to prevent drafts and protect against potential damage.
Clean and Cover: Clean your RV thoroughly, both inside and out, to remove any food crumbs or spills that could attract pests. Cover your RV with a high-quality RV cover to protect it from snow, ice, and UV rays.
