Overview; Storage Preparation; Plumbing - SAFARI Trek 2002 Owner's Manual

TORAGE
To keep your coach in proper condition while it is stored, you must make preparations.
The first thing to consider is the storage area itself. Obviously an inside area is preferable
to outside storage.
A heat source is also valuable since it will help control condensation and prevent mildew.
Make sure that you inspect the coach regularly. Many of the problems that occur during
storage are easily fixed if caught early. Follow the same inspection routine you use when
on the road. Be sure to be alert for leaks, water damage, and mildew. You will also want
to run the engine briefly, along with the dash and roof air conditioners, and generator.
WARNING: Your warranty does not cover damage due to neglect or natural causes
during storage. You are responsible for maintenance of your coach
during storage.

The following sections detail, by system, the procedures needed to prepare your coach for
long-term storage.

Plumbing

The most important system to prepare is your plumbing. Even if freezing temperatures are
not expected, we still strongly recommend you prepare for the worst.
There are two ways to winterize your plumbing: draining the system or adding potable
antifreeze. Safari recommends that you drain the system completely before storing for an
extended length of time.
WARNING: Use only potable anti-freeze approved for use in RV water systems.
Never use automotive, windshield, or any other non-potable anti-freeze.
