ghostriderranch@yahoo.com Report post Posted March 6, 2010 We are planning on storing our coach in Apache Junction this summer and have never stored it before. We have been told there are certain things to do but not really given any specific instructions. It will not be covered and does have a large fiberglass panel over the shower area for light. Any help on this would be appreciated. Beth Casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about storing water in jugs to keep some moisture in the rig to keep the wood to drying out to much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 You are storing the coach long enough that even if disconnected, the batteries will self discharge. So, you will need either a medium/large solar panel, controller and connection to BOTH battery banks or two smaller solar panels, each wired to a battery bank. Fuel tank full, and added Biocide (from a marine store) if Diesel; Stabil if gasoline. Be sure to run both main engine and generator long enough after adding the additive to get it fully distributed. Tires to full inflation on sidewall unless that exceeds rim maximum. Oil changed PRIOR to storage (so acids/moisture not stored in the engine) if over 3000 or 4000 miles on it. Same for generator. Cover the tires to protect from UV damage. Can't help with advice about water inside to add humidity as we live on the Gulf coast and have the opposite problem (we keep a DEhumidifier in the Brett Wolfe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
