When I got back home, I found that a winter storm (and we're still in autumn) was on the way. So the day after I got back home, I put my motorhome into my RV garage and did some winterizing chores.

In either case, there are a number of chores to attend to so as to protect our RVs while not in regular use. For most folks that means more than the traditional RV winterizing of the water lines. Here’s what you need to know about RV storage for the winter.
