Keeping it fresh from winter

Nothing. I get ready to head to Yuma for the winter. :)

Just wonduring what people do or put in their rv to keep it fresh from winter storage

Southern Breeze.

I leave my roof vents open for air to circulate and also leave dryer sheets in a couple of areas in the fifth wheel, gives it the nice summer meadow smell. We only winterize for two months, November and December due to work. Once January hits she's opened back up for monthly trips.

Clean it well, and fresh air after winter storage.

Going south and not storing it for the winter is the best choice. :)

we winterize the water clean everything out put some desiccant in it to keep it dry and use it 3 or 4 times throughout the winter.

Use i believe is the best medicine. We are lucky and have it at home, use it monthly and no issues. Yo might want to keep some pine sol, lemon smelling stuff or something in a five gallon bucket with some water to create a large long lasting air freshener. If you have odors. you can put some charcole brickets in an open box like a pop case and they will absorb odors. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !

We used to put antifreeze in the lines and drains/traps, remove anything perishable, and used a myriad of items to ward off rodents. Now we just take it to Texas for 6 months. :)

A container of cottonballs soaked in peppermint oil (not extract). Supposedly, mice dislike the scent and it keeps them away.

Even if it doesn't work, the camper smells all peppermint-y, which is better than some other possible RV "aromas". :B

Move farther south so you can open the windows some days and enjoy the breeze.

Choose your poison. LOL. Seriously, I store our 5er in a building that houses other RV's, boats, autos, soybeans and not sure what else after I drop it off for the winter. I cracked the roof vents a smidge once and ended up w/ a lot of dust inside next spring.

Prior to storage, we clean the inside well. Place drier sheets all over. Hang moth cakes (approx 7-9 of 'em) throughout coach. Put charcoal in 3-4 pans to absorb moisture (roof vents closed). Last year, I tried something additional a RV supply place was selling that's supposed to keep mice out (similar to the peppermint oil).. No mice! Even put drier sheets in lower storage areas. Prior to the additional mouse deterrent, come spring, the inside did smell like moth cakes. Open windows and let air out for a couple days, no more oder or just a small trace of it.
