Winterizing Your Motorhome

At MPT Autobody, we understand that your RV is an investment, something you’ve purchased because you value getting away, time with the family, and the open road. However, keeping your motorhome in top condition requires ongoing care and maintenance. One such step, especially before you put your motorhome in storage for the season, is winterization.

According to RV experts, winterization involves the following:

• Flushing out all holding tanks (including fresh water, gray, and black tanks)
• Making sure all lines are drained
• Verifying that your unit’s heating and cooling is turned off
• Closing all drains

The entire process is pretty detailed, so if you plan to do it yourself, be sure to read through the instructions thoroughly. However, if you don’t want to mess with it, you can bring it on over to our shop at MPT Autobody. We can assist with any RV service and regular maintenance, including winterization as well as:

• Heating and cooling service or repairs
• Appliance repair (refrigerator, ovens, stoves, etc.)
• Converter box service and repair
• Overall maintenance check
• Detailing
• And more

We can make sure your RV is ready to take a break for the winter and is in great condition. If you happened to have any body damage during your travels, we can also take care of that. Our team of skilled auto body technicians can restore the look of your RV or even provide you with a custom paint job.
