Winter storage
There is the master cutoff under the dash and the electronic cutoff
in the overhead compartment. I usually keep the master cutoff in the off position and not deal with the electronic cutoff. I currently run the bus for an hour or so weekly or take it on a 20 - 30 mile run. Todate we have been lucky no dead batteries (knock on wood) but I know when the temp drops it will be harder to start.

If so, you could cut it off and every week or so start the genset for a while to charge, then turn the master off. If you used the coach in winter, the engine temps will be lower. I like winter in our coach down South. > Leroy Eckert > 1990 WB-40"Smoke N Mirrors" > Niceville, FL > Royale Conversion > ----- Original Message ----- > From: John McGinnis > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 7:34 PM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Winter Storage > > > Winter will be here before we want it so I'm looking for some > assistance.
