long term non-use/storage

I have health issues and have not used my Class B Xplorer230XL since last August. I filled the gas tank and added stabil. I winterized the water system and removed the house batteries. I just found out the starter battery is dead and not recoverable. I keep it in my driveway.

I may not be able to use it until mid 2021. Is there anything else I should do? I'm guessing I should remove the bad starter battery and either replace it or just leave it empty.

  • I have the insurance turned off except for comprehensive, so it's not legal to drive.
  • I,d get it up and running , have some one drive it about twenty miles a month every couple weeks would be nice . get the engine hot. the rv part sounds like you have it stored pretty good. machines that have moving parts don,t do well just sitting have air in tires checked. hope your health improves.
