Winterizing & Storing Your Rig: The November RV Storage Checklist โ€” All Star Rv Blog

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.

At All Stars RV in Littleton, CO, our secure, camera-monitored yard lets you park your coach with absolute confidence. Plus, our integrated service team can schedule pre-trip inspections, maintenance, or repairs while your rig sits so it is completely road-ready when you return.
