Here's a Winterizing Checklist I found from a YouTube I watched recently. I would give credit, but don't find it on this sheet. If you PM me with your email, I can send you a PDF of the original, which is laid out very nicely, with check boxes.

RV Winter Prep and Storage
Protect Plumbing From Freezing
  • Bypass water heater
  • Drain and flush water heater
  • Remove water filters if any
  • Option 1 use air compressor to
  • blow water out of water lines
  • Option 2 use RV Antifreeze with
  • water pump for each fixture
  • Don’t forget the low point drain
  • or city water connection
  • Use RV Antifreeze in sinks and
  • all drain traps
  • Fully empty all storage tanks
  • Black Tank
  • Fresh Water
  • Grey Tank
  • Galley Tank
Check RV Weather Seals
  • Inspect roof for any
  • penetrations or cracks in caulk
  • Inspect side walls
  • Check door and window
  • sealant edge
  • Check seams and any
  • penetration
Tires Protected
  • Tires inflated to Max Cold PSI
  • Fully supported on flat surface
  • Option to elevate on rubber
  • mat surface
  • Lower RV Stabilizers.
  • Cover tires
Rodent Control
  • Seal any hole or possible
  • entrance with wire mesh and
  • foam or caulking
  • Use preferred deterrent
  • (strobe light, Bounce Dryer
  • Sheet, Ivory Soap)
Battery maintenance storage
options
  • Use solar to keep batteries
  • charged
  • Plug in RV once every 3 weeks
  • for a day to keep batteries
  • topped off
  • Pull batteries out to keep
  • charged for convenience
Fuel System
  • Fuel stabilizer in fuel tank and
  • engine
  • Fuel stabilizer in generator
Extra
  • Check on it occasionally inside
  • and out to head off any issues.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

John
