    Maintenance – Long-term storage LONG-TERM STORAGE Long-term storage here refers to extended storage during which the motorhome is not used (e.g. over the winter). PRECAUTIONS BEFORE LONG-TERM STORAGE • Fill with fuel. This avoids condensation forming in the tank. • Increase tyre pressure.

  • Page 127: Precautions During Long-Term Storage

    Maintenance – Long-term storage PRECAUTIONS DURING LONG-TERM STORAGE • Trickle charge the batteries every third month. See the “Descriptions – Electrical system” section. • Air the motorhome once a month. • Check the liquid level in the dehumidifier. • Check that the motorhome’s ventilation is not obstruc- ted.
