Winterizing a motorhome: guidance on draining water and protecting systems
Original source: Wohnmobil einwintern: Wasserleitungen und Boiler vollständig entleeren

With the travel season ending in October 2026, motorhome owners are advised to carry out proper winterization. To prevent frost damage, tire flat spots and moisture problems during the cold months, the vehicle requires a systematic check before the resting period. A practical guide from the specialist portal campingcars.net, dated 28 September 2026, summarizes the key steps for protection and value retention. In particular, all water lines, the boiler, shower, toilet and any outdoor shower must be completely drained, and antifreeze added to cleaned tanks. Batteries should be fully charged, disconnected and stored frost-free, with regular recharging over the winter. To relieve tires and suspension, increasing tire pressure or jacking up the vehicle is recommended.
