Drain and clean the hot water heater tank. Store the anode (if equipped) elsewhere and cover the opening with a screen material to prevent things from crawling inside. This should keep the WH clean and fresh.
Remove the batteries and take them home to trickle charge and keep them conditioned. The batteries should be good for several years, so it seems a waste to think of replacing them every time you store.
Prop the fridge/freezer doors open to keep them aired out (there are also all kinds of aftermarket prop devices that will work.
Remove the batteries from remotes, clocks, maybe even teh CO2 alarm etc. so over time they do not corrude and mess up wherever they are installed. the propane alarm is usually hardwired to the 12V batteries which you have removed.
I wouldn't do this but does anyone have any ideas for deodorants or things like that to keep things smelling fresh (or else, you don't do this to help identify a problem area). Your choice. The black tank is the only thing where I add deodorizer solution.
It would be best to have empty propane tanks but at least make sure the propane tanks are shut off and all propane controlled items are shut off.
Shut off all circuit breakers just to ensure they stay off, unless you have an alarm, then that's the only circuit to keep alive.
I have heard that while the trailer is sitting one should overinflate the tires to prevent flatspotting or remove all the tires and uses proper capacity jacks to prop up the trailer. Then the tires will have to be stored somewhere (there is a wrap for doing this and they should be stored on their side). Hopefully, LonnieB can pipe in here if this is necessary.
This is a start. Others should have more ideas.
