How
do I keep my tanks from freezing if I want to use my RV
during winter?
If your entire water system is not insulated so that it can
be used (providing heat is maintained in the unit), then
it is suggested that the water system remain winterized and
portable water be used (this is also a safer method of winter
camping just in case you should lose heat for any reason).
Keep your portable water in containers inside the heated
areas of your RV. Us this water for cooking, washing, cleaning
and flushing your toilet. Put antifreeze in the waste water
holding tanks to prevent them from freezing. Remember to
add more antifreeze as additional waste water is added from
washing, flushing the toilet, etc., while on your trip.
When you return home keep your RV furnace running until you
can drain the holding tanks and add antifreeze in the drain
traps.
Sometimes if driving in snow or slush the dump valves can
freeze shut. You can prevent this by covering them with waterproof
covers. If they do freeze, you can thaw the valves by pouring
warm water over them.
How do I keep the "critters" out of my
RV during storage?
The best method for keeping the critters out is to use mothballs.
The trick to using the mothballs is NOT to scatter them (you'll
spend a lot of time looking for "strays" if you do
so). Purchase some inexpensive disposable bowls with lids and
pour the mothballs into these containers. Poke holes in the
containers, sufficient for air flow, but small enough to keep
the mothballs "contained" as they diminish in size
over time. Place these containers through out your RV, even
underbelly storage compartments.
When it comes time to take your RV out of storage it is a simple
matter of collecting the containers and airing out your RV.
Another item worth mentioning is the use of fabric softener
dryer sheets. Place these inside drawers and cabinets. These
are supposed to be good mice deterrents. |
