    I am going to winterize my 2017 3010DS and put it to bed here soon for the winter. I will keep it hooked up to my 30 amp shore power the whole time. I also will empty both waste tanks and just blow out the water lines forgoing the antifreeze in the lines because I did that in the past and...

    Storing our 2108DS for the winter this year parked next to house in Indiana. I'm wondering if I should take out the batteries and put them in the garage or if it's ok to just leave the trailer plugged in to 110V for the winter. Any ideas appreciated.

    Where do you store your lead acid battery in the winter?

    Winter Storage

    We just found out our dealer is no longer doing indoor winter storage. There doesn't seem to be any other storage facility that has indoor storage capability for our 2018 Force 37TS.
