Summer is upon us and we’d love to have every day full of sunshine and blue skies.  Unfortunately, that’s not the case (especially for those like us in the northeast).  Improper storage after camping in wet weather can create the unpleasant experience of dealing with a moist and mildewy camper as well as other unwanted surprises.

We recommend watching the Storing Your Camper Video on the Pete’s RV YouTube Channel. Here’s just a few of the key takeaways from the informative, 6.5 minute video with RV Lifestyle Consultant Randy Murray:

• Leave the awning open to dry in the sun before storing
  
• Let a pop-up camper top dry before folding down
  
• Release all water from the main tank
  
• Crack the fridge door open so moisture can escape
• Open air vents and windows a tad to prevent interior mildew from forming
  
• Disconnect the negative cable on the battery to maintain charge
  

After viewing the video, feel free to submit additional RV storage questions to Pete’s RV.
