WINTER CAMPING PRECAUTIONS

When using your RV in freezing or below freezing temperatures, these precautions should be taken:

• Make proper preparations to avoid freeze damage to the fresh water and drainage systems.
• Propane regulator freeze-ups can occur in any weather if there is moisture in the tank or if the tank has been over-filled. Always use moisture-free propane fuel and make sure the tank is not filled beyond 80% of capacity.
• Prepare for more frequent furnace operation that will increase battery draw and propane use.
• During cold weather, it is very important to continue utilizing your vents and vent fans. This will keep the humid air inside moving to the outside.
• Keeping the RV tightly closed during cold weather will increase condensation. During cool weather usage, the use of a dehumidifier (customer supplied) may be required to reduce condensation.
• To avoid damage due to cold weather, check the exterior extrusions for frozen moisture before operating or using the RV’s compartment doors, locks, slide rooms, windows, vents, etc.
