Leaving the trailer in Florida for the summer

For those that leave their RV on a permanent site through out the summer months in a hot climate
Naturally I shut off everything, flush the black tank and leave chemicals in it,and drain the water from the low water drain points but do you:
1. Disconnect the sewer hose and stow it ?
2. Disconnect the water feed hose and stow it?
3. Disconnect the electric cord and stow it ?

last year I stowed them all, but I am thinking of just stowing the electric cord this year

  • Before you leave, get on the roof and put your eyeballs on EVERY square inch. If there is the slightest leak, a hot, wet Florida summer will cause a whole lot of damage. I'd put all the hoses away. No reason to let the sun do it's dirty work on them if they are not being used.
