Storing a Diesel Motorhome for 5 moths in Las Vegas

The sun can age your tires and dash real quick. Protect them at all cost.

There has been days when the relative humidity has been 1%. Diesel not so much of a problem. The coach is going to get hot and stay hot.

I advise you to cover your windshield wiper blades from the hot summer sun or they will be ruined by UV rays from the hot summer sun. I use winter pipe cover insulation and cut it to size with a pair of scissors to where the insulation covers the full length of the wipers. Saves me from buying new wiper blades every year. That Southwest sun is very harsh. My last trip to the Southwest the sun shrunk my windshield seal. I had to buy a new seal over the winter for my RV! A new outside windshield shade cover is in order next for me.

You are going to haul the batteries all the way back to Saskatoon to charge them? Why can't you fully charge them,disconnect them totally and leave them in the unit.You know that up here batteries are left 5 months in the bitter cold winter year after year.I have a set right now that is on it's sixth winter.To each his own,but that is way more work then I would do.Small solar panel?

It would also be good for the batteries if you could put a maintainer (not a trickle charger) on them during storage.

Don't forget to run the generator to circulate the treated fuel through the generator fuel system also. Also you may want to plug the exhaust pipes to keep out critters.

It will not be under cover and I will not have an electrical connection

DBakker, will the coach be under cover? Will you have an electrical connection?

MM.
