Seasonal Sites....do's and don'ts
Well we hit the lottery and secured a seasonal site now we can combine our two loves camping and boating for a reasonable cost. We plan on dropping off the 5th wheel next month. I know I need to unhoo...

Congrats on the site.
If the campground allows it, use pvc pipe and rubber couplings to plumb the tanks to the sewer.
We also leave the camper plugged in so we can keep the refrigerator on. Water heater is turned off and water turned off at the spigot.
Buy a vent cover so you can keep the vent open a couple inches for circulation. A couple buckets of Damp Rid can help with moisture too.
We also filled any gaps with Great Stuff to prevent critters from getting in. Try to crawl under the trailer at night with all the lights on inside. Have someone use a flashlight to shine in the corners and under cabinets from the inside while you're down there too, there can be gaps where the gas and water pipes enter and exit underneath. If you see light shining through, fill the gap with the foam.
We use some of the old wives' tales like dryer sheets for pest prevention too. Ant and glue traps as well... even between trips.
Best Wishes and keep us posted on your setup. Would love to see pictures too.
