Hi Doug,

I've asked this question a few times of the list and the response I
usually get is for such a short term park you really don't need to do
anything. I generally don't drvive my van in the winter, the minor
things I have done are:

- Do a fresh oil change
- Get the van rustproofed at Krown
- Hook the batteries up to a trickle charger
- Top off coolant, washer fluid, etc.
- Fill the gas and propane tanks
- Add gas stabilizer to gas tank
- Run RV antifreeze through the water lines
- Put the wheels on wooden boards rather than the pavement
- Take it easy when you start her in spring
