Trailer Maintenance

Storage is in the back yard so I can get to it whenever I want and I leave the 50Amp power hooked up all the time.

I run the air conditioner and the fridge for about 48 hours once a month.

That keeps them ready to go whenever we decide to hook up.

I have to keep buckets of water in mine so it doesn't dry out.I guess everyplace has there thing that's a pane!

I do run the A/C in our camper, but we are in humid FL. Greatly increases the life of the interior if kept dry and around 80 degrees.

It's also healthier for the A/C to run a few times during the day, rather than sit dormant for many months. Keeps the seals lubricated. Our camper is almost 9 years old, and the A/C still works like new. The A/C on a previous popup camper died after 5 years, and was only run when actually camping.

The cost to run ours isn't much. Only runs briefly during the peak hours of the day. Camper is well insulated, and doors/windows kept shut.

Wax? Definitely!

I would agree with magic 43.

only if you can afford the electric bill.

....and after you wax yours, you can wax mine.

no need to run the AC if you are no using it.

Wax? Heck yes. A good cleaning and waxing never hurts. Personaly I would set the fantastic fan to around 75 close it up and be happy.
