Hello all,
This is my second post on here since we bought our first (new to us) TT toy hauler last month. It is a 2010 Sunnybrook THX 269.
I have a 60x40 pole barn. The roof is insulated and two walls. It still gets pretty cold in there. I have a few questions I am having a hard time finding answers for when storing inside here in our OHIO winters. I will try to keep them short and sweet:
A. Being inside the barn does it need to have the pink stuff added or just blow the lines out? If Pink is necessary, add it to all spots where water hits (including the black and gray tanks)?
Yes, if it is below freezing you need to winterize.
B. Should I leave the vents, doors, windows open?
Yes, leave the vents and a couple of windows cracked.
C. Any other advice? I have been reading about rodent deterrents. We lost our barn/field cat (was the neighbors) who really kept the mouse population down. I have trapped a couple Mice this year in the barn.
Recommend you get another cat. Besides being good at catching rodents, they are cute and fuzzy.
D. Lastly, this spring I am going to build a lean to in the back of the barn to store the TT in the summer so as to not take up my whole barn. It will be a roof and one wall to block the direction 99% of our snow and rain comes and have a gravel base. The question I have is, would it be better to store it there next winter as well to keep it in fresh circulating air and at colder temps to deter the mice? Thoughts?
As long as you have it in some kind of shelter I don't think it matters much. I have to store mine outside, wish I had someplace to keep it under cover.
That should do it :)
Thank you all for any time in answering my questions.
