Help me prep for Long Term Storage

[R&SZinser]

Am looking for any tips on preparing my trailer for long term storage. I'm in the Army and will deploy to Baghdad, Iraq after Christmas for at least a year.
What do I need to do other than the standard winterizing?
The trailer will stay in the post RV storage yard. Gravel & Dirt, no overhead cover, no constant shore power.

Any ideas?

After proper winterizing of the water system.
You should check tire pressure, and cover tires to protect from sun and ozone.
A good washing and walberniseing (Airstream wax) would be a top priority on my list.
Perhaps remove battery and give to a friend to keep in garage with a trickle charge on it every few months to keep it good.
Turn off all propane valves. Leave refrig doors open to prevent odor .


I will let you know when I think of more.

The guy I bought my trailer from suggests putting a dog/cat flea collar in the areas of "burners" like the stove, water heater, heater. Any place that has those gas lines/jets that spiders enjoy building cozy homes needs one. Might help, won't hurt. (I'd have to make myself a list to be certain to remove them all ) Best wishes on your deployment. LJ
