epending upon your area and where your
RV is stored, your vehicle may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect
your RV, never leave food inside and ensure
that all surfaces are clean. Place rodent
control products in the unit during periods of
storage. Mice and other rodents can do a
tremendous amount of damage to the drapes,
cushions, etc., particularly during the winter
months. Storing your RV in a field can make it
particularly inviting. Periodically inspect it
during storage and seal off any areas that can
offer an entry point to rodents or insects.
Remember to remove any screens or tape
used to seal openings before using the RV
again. Damage from rodents or insects is not
covered by the Towable Limited Warranty.
When storing your RV, it is recommended that
the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) be
disconnected to battery avoid discharge.

and leave until the formaldehyde disappears.
