Proper preparation ensures a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience, whether you’re planning weekend getaways or an extended visit to our grounds. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your camper ready.

1. Inspect the Exterior

Winter storage can take a toll on your camper, so start with a thorough exterior inspection.

• Check for any cracks, leaks, or damage to the roof and walls.
• Inspect and reseal windows, doors, and seams if necessary.
• Wash and wax the exterior to protect against weather elements.
• Examine tires for cracks, bulges, or low tread, and ensure proper inflation.

2. Check the Interior

After months of being idle, your camper’s interior needs a refresh.

• Open windows and air out the space.
• Check for any pests that have visited in the cold months.
• Look for any signs of pests or mold.
• Clean and sanitize surfaces, cabinets, and appliances.
• Test all electrical systems, including lights, outlets, and the control panel.

3. Test Essential Systems

Make sure all critical systems are functioning correctly before hitting the road.

• Water System: Flush and sanitize the fresh water tank and check for leaks.
• Propane System: Inspect propane tanks, test for leaks, and ensure appliances are operating safely.
• Battery & Electrical: Charge and test your battery, checking connections and wiring.
• HVAC: Run your heating and cooling systems to ensure they’re in working order.
