Inactivity and a harsh <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong> can cause untold <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>damage<\/strong> to your campervan. Here are some tips how to protect your motorhome during the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>First up, if you can <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>garage<\/strong> your motorhome, you should do so. Keeping it out of the wind, rain, snow, ice and even sunshine offers protection to both body and engine. Due to the size of the vehicle, it may not be possible to keep the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> indoors, so most vans will have to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong> outside. One point to note if a van is indoors over the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong> &#8212; on occasions moving it outside on dry days is highly recommended. When housed indoors over an extended period, moisture can form in various places, causing corrosion. Putting the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> outside on a dry windy day is ideal to dry out these areas.<\/p>\n<p>The second point is essential for any mechanical <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> &#8211; don&#8217;t leave it inactive for an extended period. Many parts of any <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> work better and last longer, when used regularly. For example the brakes &#8211; the components stay lubricated when in regular <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong>. The brake pads may perish if not used for long periods. Therefore, take your motorhome for a 20 minute spin every weekend or fortnight. At the very least, start the engine regularly. Top tip &#8212; if you commute to work and have easy parking, then drive to work, once a fortnight.<\/p>\n<p>When you finish using your vehicle, give the exterior a good clean and polish. This helps prevent dirt building up on it over the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong>. You may wish to consider a protective <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cover<\/strong> for your motorhome or RV. These come in full <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cover<\/strong> or half <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cover<\/strong> forms and do offer much protection to the exterior. Icy conditions can cause damage, with water lodging in crevices and then expanding into ice, in extreme temperatures. Sap from nearby trees, bird droppings, black <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>rain<\/strong> streaks etc can all be avoided with the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of a motorhome <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Battery maintenance is essential over the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong>. Motorhome leisure batteries tend to lose their capacity over long periods of inactivity. The effect is even worse during cold periods. The best solution is to keep your battery fully charged during the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong> using a <em>&#8220;trickle charge&#8221;<\/em>. You can either remove the leisure battery from your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong> and plug it into a trickle charge device in your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> or attach some kind of trickle charging device to you battery as it resides in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong>. If you choose not to trickle charge, at least be disciplined to charge and discharge your battery on a regular basis over the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>winter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>AboutMotorhomes.<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>com<\/strong> promotes best practice when it comes to caring for your leisure <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>vehicle<\/strong>.
