As November brings crisp late-autumn air and freeze warnings across the Denver metro area, Colorado RVers are preparing to park their motorhomes and travel trailers for the off-season. Storing your rig safely prevents costly freeze damage, rodent infestations, and battery failures over the cold winter months.
1. Complete Winterization & Plumbing Care
A single freezing night on the Front Range can burst water lines or crack water heaters. Drain your fresh water tank completely, bypass your water heater, and pump non-toxic RV antifreeze through all lines. If you are storing a modern unit like the 2026 Coachmen Clipper, take advantage of its built-in tankless water heater drain features and low-point valves before locking it up for the season.
2. Battery Maintenance & Electrical Safety
Sub-zero Colorado winter nights drain battery life fast. Disconnect your house and chassis batteries to stop parasitic power drain, or hook them up to a reliable trickle maintainer to preserve cell health until spring.
3. Exterior & Pest Prevention
Clear out all food items, crumbs, and pantry goods to deter mice and other rodents. Inspect lap sealant around roof vents, air conditioners, and slide-out seams for micro-cracks where trapped moisture could freeze and expand. Clean interior surfaces thoroughly, and prop open your refrigerator doors to prevent mold and mildew growth.
