As the season ends, many motorhomes and camper vans will be left stationary for several months. Without minimal preparation, spring can bring repair bills from frozen water, flat batteries and damp. Before storage, drain both fresh and waste water tanks and leave drain valves open, and switch off the water pump and heater. Charge both starter and leisure batteries and disconnect unnecessary consumers; close gas cylinders and disconnect connections. Tyre pressure is raised by about 0.5 bar, the vehicle is parked on dry, level ground, and checks are recommended every 4 to 6 weeks.
