Well it’s that time of year again, time to clean u

Over the Veterans Day weekend we brought the camper home and cleaned it up before storing it.

It took me all day Thursday to clean the exterior. Unfortunately it rained all day Friday so we didn’t get a chance to do any cleaning on it. Saturday I started the waxing and finished it on Sunday. While it was home I winterized it also. Never know when the temps are going to drop into the 20’s around here. Pat cleaned the inside and took out all the items that are vulnerable to the cold. Only thing left to do is clean the awning. That happens Friday.

Before we store it we're returning it to the dealer to do the warranty work. I have a list of 15 items that need correction. It goes back the day after Thanksgiving. Once finished it’s back to the storage lot for a long winter’s nap

So, I’d like to hear from some of the other members as to what they do prior to storing their campers for the winter. What do you do?

Bill n Pat, here in Mississippi we hardly ever have low enough temps to winterize our rig. It gets a good wash and wax job. And also remove all mildew(tough job). Usually drain the waterheater and turn off the fridge.

But it rarely sits very long. Even in winter we try to make a weekend trip about every 4 or 5 weeks. Winter is a great time for campfires and a cold brew.

Glen & Lorraine,
I only wish we could pick up and head to a warmer climate! Maybe in another 10 years after I'm retired.

I envy you guys. Pat and I want to travle when we retire. That's one of the reasons we bought the camper. Wanted to get use to living in it before taking the plunge after retirement.

Hope you guys have a great time down there! And have a Happy Thanksgiving as well!

Bill
