Re: Long-term Summer Storage in Florida
I don't blow out the water lines (I do flush the lines really good when I return in the fall), I do empty the hot water tank, flush the grey and black tanks good, put the silver covers on the inside of the windows, lock all the windows, disconnect the battery, turn off and clean out the fridge (leave door open), remove all food items totally, lock the dead bolts and other door locks, let some air out of the tires (they are on wood in sandy area) and also the spare tire (the temp can get pretty hot and it will blow a tire if it is full of air to max), and lastly, I put off a bug bomb just before leaving for the summer. I also, have a friend check on the trailer once in a while and the owner of the park keeps pretty good tabs of trailers left for the summer months. BTW, I cover my tires with the grey plastic heavy duty tarps and tie them on really good and I also have four tie downs on the trailer for heavy winds. If hurricane is coming, I'll go get the trailer and move it inland til weather passes. Only takes me about 15 hours to drive down to get the trailer and since I am retired, it is no big deal to do that. Just some thoughts I had ......
