Winter Storage
When the Folding Camper season has drawn to a close it is best practice to spend a little time preparing you camper for winter storage. This not only ensures your camper will survive the harsh winters but can save you a lot of time and money in the new season replacing parts that did not survive. Some of the most common things that people find when they resurrect their camper in the new season are brakes that have seized, bedding and inner linings damp and sometimes even rotted, fridges that have grown mould inside, these are only to mention but a few. So take some time before you stow the camper away and follow our steps below.

Winter Storage |
|
|
|
|
|
Drain hot water tanks |
~ Open valve by water heater |
|
Drain all taps |
~ Open all taps so water can drain out |
|
Leave fridge door ajar |
~ Lets the air circulate |
|
Empty toilet (waste tank) |
~ Makes a mess if it freezes |
|
Drain toilet (fresh tank) |
~ From water level tube |
|
Leave cupboard door open |
~ Lets the air circulate |
|
|
|
|
Air the canvas to make sure totally dry before storing |
|
|
Do not leave the fresh water bottle in the trailer, remove cap, let the air circulate |
|
|
Can remove all inners / canvas, but if stored in the loft make sure it is mice free |
|
|
Store camper inside if possible (garage, barn) |
|
|
Use winter cover, it keeps the trailer clean not dry (breathable not water proof) |

What We Do |
|
|
|
|
|
We store inside where possible |
|
|
We place bubble wrap (big bubbles) under cover for added insulation |
|
|
We tip the trailer so any water will run off the cover |
