Hello Judi,
Even though your unit is in storage for the winter it's important, as you've found out, to go into it every so often and check for leaks, incursions--pesky things--and give it a good once over for loose screws and other items that need repair. It's also critical that in the deep winter that you brush snow off the roof once in a while--prevents roof failure and leaks. The guys don't like to do this chore but it's recommended for all camper trailers to maintain roof seals, especially if your unit is stored out of doors in winter weather.
Before storing for the winter, be sure to double check your roof seals, especially around any vents through the roof and down the side seams for openings or splits in the caulking. Repairs made in the late fall will prevent wet and moldy spring problems.
FYI-half the preventative maintenance that is done to our Monty is done at my instigation. You have a vested interest in the health of your house on wheels!
YGG!
