Winterizing your trailer is an important part of protecting the fresh water system, both hot and cold as well as the waste water collection system. It also involves protecting the refrigerator from growing mold, protecting the battery/batteries from discharge and potential freeze damage as well as preventing rodent/insect infestation. Don't forget to air up your tires and apply a protective dressing to them as well as cover them to prevent UV and moisture damage. Depending on where you store your trailer, winterizing may also include protecting the outer surfaces from leaf, wind, falling ice, damage as well as protecting it from theft and water damage.

Most of us think of "winterizing" as the end of the camping season and storage of the RV for the rest of the year. It's really more than that, it's also an opportunity to get things cleaned up, lubed up, repaired, tightened (or loosened) if needed as well as a general inspection for things that might need repair though the "non-use time"....
