Before you set up the trailer:

• Make sure no items have moved around in your unit around the slides. This prevents any damage to your slide-out if items have moved in front of it.
• Before backing the trailer into the site, inspect the surrounding area for any debris that could damage awnings, slide-outs, walls, tires, and the frame.

Fridge

• Trailer fridges are not built like household units. They can operate on propane and electric if you need them too. You should always turn on the fridge a day or two before you travel with it because it can take 12 to 24 hours to cool down.
• Fridges can overheat from high temperatures. On those types of days, we would recommend using the propane function of the fridge. Propane has a higher success rate when it comes to cooling in higher temperature weather. Once the weather cools down you can switch the fridge back to electric.

Furnace

• Throughout the season, the furnace should be tested two to three times to make sure that it is still running properly. This is simple maintenance to avoid issues with the sail switch which helps to operate your furnace.

Hot Water Heater

• The water heater can be used on gas or electric, depending on the model of your trailer. You should always make sure it has water inside of it before turning it on; this can cause damage to the heating element inside the tank.
• When going into winter storage season, the tank must always be drained to avoid any cracking. We call this service ‘winterizing’.

Gate Valves

• Gate valve handles need monthly maintenance. We would suggest using penetrating oil for the water valves.

Batteries

• Batteries should be disconnected when not being used for long periods of time. Your radio clock and propane detector can drain the battery within 2 to 3 weeks.
• All batteries should not be stored inside the trailer during the winter time but in a heated area connected to a trickle charger.

Awning

• Awnings should not be extended on windy or heavy raining days as this can cause damage to either the support arms or fabric. This type of damage will not be covered under any warranty coverage.
