Your water tank should be empty. It will need to be sanitized. You can either buy a bottle of fresh water tank sanitizer or simply use bleach. I wrote this up last year here: http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10847&PID=101395&title=water-systems#101395. You can change the water heater bypass valve so the hot water heater and lines will be sanitized also. It isn't hard but does take a little time to do.
Other than that, it is making sure everything is in good order and working. Make sure your battery (if not maintenance free) has sufficient electrolyte and add distilled water if needed. Make sure your electrical connector is not corroded and test your lights. Check the frame for any rust and spot-treat with Rustoleum Rust Reformer or your preferred rust remover as needed and top coat with paint as desired. Check your seals and treat them. Then go out and have a fun camping trip.  |

Thank you for the dewintering advice. I am looking forward to learning the ins and outs of my pod!

Yes, my wife and I will be passing through Olympic National Park on our way up to British Columbia in mid May!
