Bill & Jody, Welcome to the forum. One important thing to remember when storing the trailer in Florida is the damage that the sun can do. Use tire covers on all tires and a spray on protection like Formula 303 will help also on tires and graphics. Get some of the foil coated bubble-wrap insulation and cut it to fit the inside of the South, East and West facing windows. Slip the insulation under the shades or blinds and cover sky-lites also. Install roof vent covers (Maxxaire or other brands ) so you can leave them all open a little to allow air flow. Close off all appliance vents with foil or screening to keep bugs out. Remove all traces of food and fill all openings around pipes and wires with expandable foam to keep little critters out. BE SURE ALL WASTE AND WATER TANKS ARE EMPTY AND CLEAN. Last thing is to put some water in each plumbing trap and about a ½ gallon in the toilet to seal fumes in tanks.

When your all done with that it's time to undo everything and go Camping and have fun. Travel safely and enjoy your new lifestyle, Hank
