Introduction
Winter is fast approaching, and it's time to think about getting your RV ready for the colder months. Whether you're storing your RV or planning to brave the winter roads, winterizing your RV is crucial for its long-term maintenance. At Whitlock Motors & RV, we offer a specialized RV Winterization Service to ensure your home-on-wheels stays in top condition.
Why Winterize Your Camper?
Winterizing your RV is more than just a seasonal chore; it's a necessary step to protect your valuable investment. Here are some compelling reasons:
- Prevent Pipe Freezing: Just like in a home, freezing pipes can cause significant damage.
- Avoid Mold and Mildew: Proper winterization helps prevent moisture issues.
- Electrical and Battery Health: Protecting your RV's electrical systems and batteries is crucial for winter storage.
Our Comprehensive Winterization Checklist
At Whitlock Motors & RV, our winterization process is thorough, covering all essential systems:
- Plumbing System: We drain, flush, and fill your plumbing lines with RV-specific antifreeze.
- Tire Care: We elevate your RV using leveling jacks to relieve tire pressure.
- Stabilizing Jacks: These are lowered onto wooden blocks to prevent freezing to the ground.
- Engine Care: We fill your fuel tank and add stabilizers, along with checking and topping off other fluids.
- Battery Storage: We fully charge and then remove or disconnect batteries in freezing conditions.
- Electrical Systems: All circuit breakers are turned off, and shore power is disconnected.
- Propane Safety: Propane tanks are removed and stored in a secure location.

Don't Skip Winterization
Even if your RV stays in a heated storage facility or you plan to use it occasionally during the winter, we strongly recommend winterizing your vehicle. Skipping this crucial step can lead to significant damage, especially if temperatures drop unexpectedly.
Other Winter Storage Tips
Beyond winterizing the mechanical aspects, consider cleaning and sealing all entry points, checking roof for potential damage, and using an RV cover for additional protection. Also, consider setting mousetraps inside your RV to catch any critters seeking refuge from the cold.
