Winter storage in Spokane

Will be storing our 5W in Spokane not under a cover for the whole winter.
Can RVers from the area advise what is needed to protect (as much as possible) the 5W such as:
Humidifier, Covers or anything else.
Thanks
  • Anything that freezing will cause to expand and break:
    Water and holding tanks
    Water lines
    Washer & Dryer
    Ice maker in refer
    Black tank flush line
    Sink and shower traps
    Water filters
    Water hoses - best to drain, but they're usually OK
    Pull the water drain valves on air tanks
    Water pump
    Take out all canned foods
    Unhook your negative battery cables unless you have a true battery disconnect switch
    Put pink anitfreeze in the toilet so the toilet seal doesn't dry out
    Leave the shower hose/head open and hanging down so it drains
    The outside shower
    The hot water heater

    And no, don't put a humidifier in it - it will freeze and break.
