Storage Tips

One thing I do because the van is in a shed is to put the charger on a timer that comes on once a week for about 6hours. I MT out the water tanks and toilet tanks.
If it is shed that attracts swallows..cover it as well if you can.

hi all
contrary to what most people do we actually fill water tanks right up
no air=no oxygen= no microbes
if you live somewhere (as we & most do ) where the authorities supply treated water then the chlorine in the water is enough to keep most things at bay
we have had no problems for the last 6 years
when you empty your tanks you cant get every last drop out anyway
i know some people put miltons etc into the tanks then drive around the block trying to splash it around (& this may work) but what a pain & probably unnecessary
cheers

We turn the fridge off and put the battery charger on a weekly timer so that it gets a boost once a week.
With the water, whatever is in the tanks stays there and we just top them up next time we want to use it. It is no different to water stored in rain water tanks, so we treat it the same.

The toilet flush tank has been left with whatever was in it, but last month when we used the van I found that the pump would not turn. On inspection I found calcification around the impella that I believe came from the Nappie San that had been used in the tank, so now I am emptying the flush tank during storage.

rather than putting battery charger on a timer, use a smart battery charger like a Victron or CTEK, and leave it on permanently.

It will monitor your batteries and only charge when required...
