weather-proofed for winter

More and more outdoor en-
thusiasts are using their
recreation vehicles, campers,
trailers, mobile homes, etc.,
throughout the winter. Skiers,
snowmobilers, ice fishermen,
snowshoers and hunters are
using them to get to the scene of
the action. In fact, some skl
resorts have set up special

parking lots for campers as they

find their own accommodation
facilities overtaxed on the
weekends.

Here are some tips on
protecting your recreational

vehicle from the winter weather,

courtesy of Mike Radigan,

National Director of the
Recreational Institute. His tips
cover both the vehicle that is

going to keep busy all winter and_-

one that is going to be laid up in
the back yard.

First, tips for the outdoorsmen
who will-be using their vehicles
during the winter:

_ Radigan suggested that for
winter use RV owners refrain

from filling their water tanks .

before departing for their

— destinations. “When you arrive

He cautioned winter. RV users
to drain holding tanks before
heading home andadd some anti-
freeze,

“Owners of recreational -veh-
‘idles -who intend to use them to
‘visit ski areas, . for Overnight
accommodation at. snowmobile
or ski events, or for -ice fishing
“warm-up” headquarters, may
consider adding extra insulation

' throughout the vehicle, installing

storm windows (clear plastic

. works fine), and carrying out
‘other common-sense winterizing

tasks,”

- For. those. leaving ‘the
recreational vehicle in the back
yard the RVi director recom-
mends that-all water supply
tanks ‘be drained including sink
and shower traps, Add a cup of
anti-freeze to each. sink and
shower drain. Handpumps
Should be removed and sewage
holding tanks should be drained
and anti-freeze added, this
should also be done if you are
using the vehicle during the
winter.
