Winterizing a Roadtrek can prevent several mishaps. Roadtreks, if not appropriately inspected before the winter’s cold arrives, can cause damage to  the pipes of your Roadtrek. The harsh cold can create freezing water that can damage the Roadtrek’s systems. The winter elements can also cause damage to tires, batteries and other Roadtrek’s system’s overtime.

Maintain proper tire pressure.

Protect tires from losing pressure by covering them with a tire cover when not in use. Spray a tire dressing onto tires to keep the sunlight from weakening the tire. You can even jack op your Roadtrek to prevent further loss of inflation if they have been sitting for long periods of time. Also be sure to inspect and replace the spare tire in necessary.

Inspect batteries periodically.

Use baking soda and water to wipe down the roadtrek’s batteries from corrosion and dirt. Recharge the Roadtrek’s batteries using the isolator switch to reduce unwanted electric leak, which happens when poor grounding connections draw energy. Remove the battery from the Roadtrek during extreme cold weather conditions to keep it from freezing. Place battery in a dry, storage area such as a garage, and charging it at least once a month.

Drain the water from your Roadtrek.

Park the Roadtrek with rear wheels elevated a few inches before draining. Shut off  all water faucets and fill the water tank with RV antifreeze. Turn water pump on and open toilet, shower, and all other faucet valves so that RV antifreeze can be released. Turn water pump off when the RV antifreeze starts to flow.

Drain the hot water heater tank. First, remove the heater tank’s door latch. Open the pressure release valve by moving the lever up vertically, removing the plug at the bottom of the heater. Step aside to prevent spillage on clothes. Take special caution to ease the plug out. Next, flush the hot water tank with a water hose until the water becomes less murky. Reassemble and use plumber’s tape to secure valve shut.

Air the lines out.

Open the faucet valves and the water tank fill valves to air out its lines. Replace the valves when finished.

Change your Oil.

If needed, don’t forget to change your Roadtrek’s oil. Also, inspect the generator, brake fluied and engine coolant before putting it away for the winter. Another important thing to remember is to fill the gas tank to maximum to prevent gum-forming oxidation.

If you take these simple precautions, your Roadtrek will stay looking new for years to come.  Roadtrek Class B Campers are easy to care for and a blast to drive. Call 1-866-975-3287 or fill out the contact us form with any questions.

If you are considering buying a used RV, why not get a used Roadtrek? Dave Arbogast Van Depot has a large selection of both New Roadtrek Camper Vans and Used Roadtrek Camper Vans.  Roadtrek vans are the best selling Class B Vans in the United States and are extremely durable!

Roadtrek Camper Vans  are superior in terms of stability as they has a lower center of gravity than most. For better weight distribution, the water tanks are located close to the axles. With a much longer wheelbase a Roadtrek provides unsurpassed highway stability. It also has excellent suspension, steering and braking capabilities of the chassis.

A Roadtrek Camper Van is small and easy to park.  Chevy based Roadtreks don’t even look like motorhomes so you can avoid RV parking restrictions and park at regular spaces.

Thanks to its aerodynamic shape and lower overall size and weight, Roadtreks are not fuel guzzlers. The lowered floor on Chevy models allows a low, sweeping roof. The heat pump (air conditioner & heater) is built into the rear, with only the flush-mounted grills visible from the rear. The refrigerator vent is disguised and integrated into a black louvered grill in the galley window while the fresh water fill is securely located inside a passenger side or rear door.

Other features that are standard in Roadtreks, may not be found in other RVs. Some include the built-in sewage hose system on the 170 and 190; macerator sewage pump on the 210 and RS; cloverleaf dining table; temporarily enclosed bathroom/privacy area; stand-up aisle shower; lowered floor; built-in heat pump; exterior storage compartments below the floor; under-floor tanks; dual layer foam beds and more.

Considering all these additional features, you may consider to purchase a used Roadtrek Camper Vans  as your first camper van that is ideal for your domestic vacation.
