RV Winterization Videos

With the winter months fast approaching many RV owners must get their motorhome winterized, and ready for storage. We have recorded several RV winterization videos that will walk you through step-by-step how to get your RV ready. In all of our videos, one of our RVTI certified RV technicians will show you exactly what to do.

An overview of general tips on RV Winterization includes:

Dumping the Tanks
Winterize the Plumbing System including: adding antifreeze to each sink trap, toilet, tub and shower drain.
Drain the Water Heater
Circulate the air keeping one or more roof vents partially open so air can circulate.
Dry the air if humid with a dehumidifier or other air drying product.
Preserve the Batteries – charge, disconnect and then remove.
Ensure your Tires are properly inflated and park on dry surface if possible.
Wash RV Exterior and inspect the exterior for any areas that might need to be sealed.
Ensure to keep the fuel fresh.
Cover the openings of the water heater and refrigerator compartments with RV screens to keep out pests.
