I
would
like
to
welcome
you
to
the
December
2011
issue
of
our
monthly
maintenance
blog.
The
Poulsbo
RV
Service
Department
looks
forward
to
answering
your
questions
on
how
to
properly
maintain
your
RV
or
trailer,
so
that
you
will
be
able
to
enjoy
it
for
years
to
come.
As
winter
is
upon
us,
the
questions
this
month
will
address
how
to
keep
excess
moisture
out
of
your
coach
and
how
to
maintain
your
LP
system
during
storage.
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
you
can
do
to
prevent
mold
or
condensation
inside
your
RV
or
trailer.
The
first
suggestion
is
that
you
have
vent
covers
installed,
if
you
do
not
already
have
them.
Vent
covers
allow
you
to
leave
the
vents
open
in
all
weather
while
keeping
the
rain
from
entering
the
RV
or
trailer.
The
vent
covers
will
allow
the
air
to
circulate
through
the
unit
and
prevent
moisture
build-up.
The
second
suggestion
is
that
you
use
dehumidifiers
to
help
control
the
amount
of
moisture
in
the
air.
Depending
on
the
size
of
your
unit,
you
could
need
several
dehumidifiers
to
properly
control
the
moisture
in
your
RV
or
trailer.
You
will
also
need
to
leave
the
closet
doors,
cabinets
and
drawers
open
when
you
are
parked
to
keep
condensation
or
mold
from
building
up
on
back
walls
or
in
corners.
Condensation
and
mold
are
more
likely
to
be
an
issue
during
colder
weather
when
there
is
excess
moisture
in
the
air.
You
should
visually
inspect
your
LP
system
every
month.
Look
for
cracks,
oil
residue,
or
dents
in
the
tank
and
for
cracks
in
the
LP
line.
If
you
find
any
cracks,
dents
or
oil
residue,
you
will
need
to
fix
or
replace
the
line
or
tank
before
you
use
or
store
your
RV
or
trailer.
Your
LP
system
should
be
professionally
inspected
at
least
twice
a
year.
We
recommend
that
you
have
your
LP
system
professionally
tested
before
you
store
your
RV
or
trailer
for
the
winter.
When
prepping
your
RV
or
trailer
for
storage,
you
should
shut
the
tank
off
completely;
this
will
help
you
avoid
having
spider
or
insect
issues.
You
should
also
consider
a
tank
cover,
if
you
are
going
to
leave
the
tank
attached
to
the
trailer.
If
you
choose
to
remove
your
tank
for
storage,
make
sure
to
close
the
LP
line
from
the
outside
with
a
threaded
fitted
cap.
The
tank
will
need
to
be
stored
in
a
cool
dry
place,
preferably
with
a
cover,
and
you
will
need
to
close
off
any
openings
or
void
caused
by
the
removal
of
the
tanks
to
avoid
critter
issues.
Thank
you

Poulsbo

Monthly
Maintenance
blog.
