❄️ FLORIDA RV WINTERIZATION CHECKLIST

Even though Florida doesn’t experience the harsh winters of northern states, winterizing your RV in the Sunshine State is still important—especially if you're storing your rig, heading north, or preparing for seasonal temperature drops.

Here are three sample items we cover from our full RV winterization guide:

✔️ 1. Protect Your Water System From Temperature Swings

While Florida rarely freezes, overnight cold snaps still happen. We walk through:

• Draining the water heater

• Bypassing the heater correctly

• Protecting lines if traveling north

✔️ 2. Seal & Inspect All Exterior Points

Heat, humidity, and salt air can weaken seals. Larry explains how to:

• Inspect caulking

• Check roof membrane

• Protect vents and slide toppers

This prevents leaks before winter storms roll through.

✔️ 3. Prep Your RV for Storage or Light Use

Even if you're still camping during winter, you should:

• Clean AC filters

• Treat fuel if storing

• Test smoke/CO detectors

• Add moisture absorbers to prevent mildew

These simple steps keep your RV healthy all winter long—Florida-style.
