One concern must be addressed if left in storage. The trap line. I know of Canadian folks who pulled to Southern California. While there put unit in storage and flew to New Zealand for a month.
When they got back a pack rat or some other critter took up residence in their fancy expensive fifth and did thousands in damage. Ruined their winter because it took a dealer many weeks to repair.
Stored, these unit’s must be checked every week and traps set up in every door.
I have several unit’s stored on our yard and I make the rounds once a week.
In side the main door I set traps and a peanut butter/pail of water/antifreeze so it’s easy to check.
Even though I have sealed our trailer and our kids the odd one still gets in.
