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
