Thoughts and considerations for extended storage:

Mold and mildew - must keep unit ventilated. Place moisture collecting bags throughout the rig.
Refrig - leave door open to prevent odor build up
Holding tanks - add chemicals to keep odors down
Rodents - need some poison or traps
Tires - may deteriorate. Cover and park on a surface the permits water drainage - Remove as much wight off the tires as possible
Bugs/wasp nest in furnace/refrg/AC components
Exposure - weather and Sun. Covers will work if fitted right. Wax the unit annually. Check roof - clean, repair caulking annually
Slides - occasionally operate slide and keep seals lubricated.
Awning - Open and inspect for mold and nest annually
Water system - drain/winterize/ need to sanitize before using again.
Batteries - remove and/or keep a battery tender on them. Check water regularly.
