Using an RV Cover

While I'm on the subject of winterizing...

What will keep the bad stuff from growing in the fresh water tank, some clorox, some antifreeze? I know I couldn't get all the water out because of where the tank outlets are.

The knee pads have worked; the biggest challenge is wrapping the velcro straps so they stay in place.

How do the knee pads work out?

I have a couple of sets of kneepads I bought from Harbor Freight. I use them for the TV and radio antennas, and I put them on the tops of the awning arms too. Basically any sharp edges or corners that could be wear points.

Nice to hear the ADCO sent you repair material at nc. I will look at the lower edges as well. There is more to it than I thought.

I picked up the pipe insulators from HD for the ladder, so I'm good there.

If you look around you can get the noodles for about one buck each (Dollar Store, Big Lots, etc). Useful for several things.

Sounds good everyone, thanks! Getting ready to cover for the long winter's nap.

Will definitely look for sharp corners and pad them before covering. I am concerned about the TV antenna so I will most likely put an old, folded tarp over it (it looks like a tear waiting to happen)

Yes-- Would definitely advise to cover your TV antenna!.. I didn't do that last year with my new TT and travel cover. Padded all the corners where the downspouts are and don't forget the lower edges by your fenders... very sharp! BUT I forgot the antenna and it wore a hole right through it that I didn't notice until spring.. Just called Adco and they sent me big pieces of self stick repair material at no cost.

I had to use foam pads on the down spouts, the rest of the surfaces seemed smooth enough.

You can use foam pipe insulation on any sharp edges.
Don't worry about the vent and A/C covers, unless they have sharp edges. I've never had a problem with my cover being damaged.
