STORAGE
If the motorhome is to be stored for any
length of time, especially over the winter
period, the following operations are
recommended:
Remove all linens, blankets, cushions,
clothes, mattresses, etc. which could be
affected by damp conditions. Clean the
motorhome inside and out as detailed in
the previous section.
Drain the water system (see index).
Ensure all windows, roof lights and doors
are correctly fastened. Check fixed
ventilation apertures are not obstructed.
Check that the site you have chosen to
store the motorhome is open, fairly high
and dry and if possible not exposed to
gales etc. If this proves impossible it is
recommended that the motorhome
chassis is anchored to the ground.
Jack up the motorhome (use bottle or
screw jack, do NOT use the corner
steadies) so that the wheels are clear of
the ground. Support the motorhome axle
with wooden blocks, axle stands or similar
so that when the jacks are removed the
wheels remain clear of the ground. Lower
the corner steadies to 'just' site the
motorhome. Cover the tyres to prevent
deterioration. Release the handbrake
Security: Lowering and locking the corner
steadies and removing the wheels
reduces the risk of motorhome theft.
MOTORHOME COVERS
Motorhome covers may be used to
protect your new Explorer Group
Motorhome provided that the cover used
is of a breathable type. Ensure that the
point of the status aerial is removed and
that the cover is well tied down. Your
motorhome must be ventilated every 4 to
6 weeks if it is to be stored with a cover in
place.
POWER DRAIN
"In order to reduce any drain on your
Leisure Battery while your motorhome is
being stored you should ensure that the
Main control switch on the Refrigerator is
set to the 0 position
Note: Do not work under the motorhome
unless the corner steadies are down
and/or the axle is fully supported.
