Still on the hunt... Being in the mountains of BC, for the first 2 years, until I retire, my coach (as yet undiscovered!) will have a good 9 months of minimal use, 7-8 months of that likely none in winter storage. Probably will NOT be in a heated facility, may likely only have a soft cover (no real roof over it's head).
I know that an unused coach is a problem waiting to happen. But... how long is too long to sit? If I invest in a vehicle with major mechanical upgrades (some of which may have been done to replace components which withered and died because it sat for 2 years!) how much of a chance am I taking by having it sit, yet again, unused for at least 8 months, that those very same components will be at risk? I realize that a lot will depend on exactly WHAT upgrades have been done, but, generally speaking, ......
And what is the best way (I know I will have lots of opinions coming my way on this one) to prevent that deterioration during winter storage (besides the usual winterizing - draining water system, RV antifreeze, remove battery &/or run the generator one a month, fuel stabilizer, etc). The more information I have, the more likely I will be able to make the best decision when the opportunity comes along. Thanks to all!
