Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-storage servicing is a preventative maintenance routine designed to protect your caravan or motorhome while it is parked up for the winter or off-season. Leaving an RV idle without proper preparation can lead to stagnant water systems, dead batteries, flat-spotted tyres, perished seals, and pest infestations.
It is critical to fully drain your fresh water tanks, grey water tanks, and hot water heater bypass lines to prevent stagnant water from growing algae or bacteria. We flush and sanitise your plumbing network, clear the water filters, and ensure no moisture remains trapped in internal lines where it can cause mould or freeze damage.
Leaving batteries fully connected during storage will cause parasitic draw (from clocks, carbon monoxide detectors, and standby appliances) that will drain them and permanently damage them. We service your battery system by verifying the isolation switches function correctly, checking charge levels, and configuring trickle-charging options.
When a heavy vehicle sits stationary for months, the sustained weight on one section of rubber causes “flat-spotting,” which ruins the tyre’s structure. Before storage, we inspect your tyres for sidewall cracks, inflate them to the maximum recommended cold pressure, and advise on block-jacking to relieve structural pressure on the axles.
You should thoroughly clean the cabin, clear out all food remnants to avoid attracting rodents, prop open your refrigerator and freezer doors to prevent mould, and leave cushions standing on edge to allow air circulation. We check that all pest-exclusion screens over exterior vents are intact during our inspection.
We conduct a comprehensive seal and seam inspection to ensure water cannot sneak in while the vehicle is parked out in the weather. We also wash away corrosive road grime and salt film, and apply a high-quality UV-protective wax coat that guards the gelcoat against the harsh Australian elements when idle.
