Winterizing your Airstream
Winterizing your Airstream camper is an important step to ensure that it stays in good condition during the winter months when you’re not using it. Here are the steps to properly winterize your Airstream camper:
- Drain the water system: Drain the fresh water tank, hot water heater, and all the plumbing lines to prevent damage from freezing.
- Add antifreeze: Add non-toxic RV antifreeze to the fresh water tank and all the plumbing lines to protect them from freezing.
- Disconnect the battery: Disconnect the battery from the Airstream camper and store it in a warm, dry place. This will help prevent damage from cold weather.
- Cover the Airstream: Invest in a high-quality cover for your Airstream camper to protect it from the elements. Make sure the cover fits securely and covers the entire camper.
- Store the Airstream: Store your Airstream camper in a dry, protected place during the winter months. Make sure the area is free from potential sources of moisture, such as snow and ice.
- Check the tires: Make sure the tires on your Airstream camper are properly inflated and check them periodically throughout the winter. If you’ll be storing the camper for an extended period of time, consider removing the tires and storing them separately.
- Clean the exterior: Clean the exterior of your Airstream camper before storing it for the winter. This will help prevent damage from dirt, debris, and other contaminants that can cause damage over time.
- Maintain the seals: Check the seals around windows, doors, and other openings on your Airstream camper and make any necessary repairs or replacements. This will help prevent moisture from getting inside the camper and causing damage.
By following these steps, you can help ensure that your Airstream camper is protected during the winter
