RV FEATURE
A mix of bicarb and vanilla being added to the water tank
We cover everything on our RV if it ’ s staying outside for a while
We seal up some of the vents with cardboard ; however , the vent at the lowest point of the van should stay uncovered in case you accidentally leave the gas on and there ' s a leak .
An alarm lock is just one of the effective security methods for an RV
PESTS
Nobody wants to find something else has set up home in their RV while it ’ s being stored , so don ’ t underestimate creepy crawlies . Start by making every effort to eliminate any traces of food from your RV before it goes into storage to deter unwanted pests .
Another deterrent is sprinkling a powder-based product around the jockey wheel and stabiliser legs to help keep the pests at bay .
INTERNAL
Besides giving the RV ’ s exterior some TLC before going into storage , there are a few things you can do inside .
Begin by giving the fridge a thorough clean using a mild detergent and a few drops of vanilla to neutralise smells . In the bathroom , we like to use a citrus-based product for removing any soap scum , cleaning the toilet , and for wiping over all benchtops and the cooktop . Moisture absorbers that soak up moisture in your RV are an excellent way to prevent mould and mildew and are readily available at supermarkets .
Finish the inside clean with some packets of soaps and satchels of fabric softener that you scatter around the RV . It ’ s a very costeffective way to keep an RV smelling fresh while it ’ s all locked up .
SECURITY
Any RV that ’ s not being used can be a perfect target for would-be thieves .
