storing you 5th wheel in AZ
I will be storing our 5th wheel at our home in SW AZ. What tips do I need to know regarding: heat, dust, insects and rodents? Thank you.

Some thoughts from Arizona...
-leave no consumables in the rig...none.
-regardless of your "sense of security" take anything
and everything out you don't want to lose.
-an occasional hook up an tow, and maintaining proper
tire inflation (and spare) will prolong life
-slight tilt can promote run-off
-expect scorpions and other wildlife to find your rig
comfortable/desirable
-batteries and propane are popular "borrow" items
-don't let it look abandoned
-HOA's have opinions about RV's in my area....check
-I would consider those aluminum foil shades for windows
even if covered
-internal heat will get high...take care in stacking /piling
stuff on the linoleum...even if you've been told "residential".
-anything requiring "batteries" empty... (touchpad door locks,
remotes, clocks)
-leave Fridge door cracked open.
-do your very best black /grey tank empty/cleanse/treatment
before you park...that stuff petrifies... yet retains aroma.
-those AC covers may prove useful...
that's enough for now .... others will have better ideas. Good luck.
