Don't let winter weather destroy your RV! Call All Together Services, Llc in Morgantown, WV, at (330) 243-4233 or stop by the AMSOIL's website to discover synthetic products that provide superior protection against harsh mountain winter conditions.

West Virginia's mountain winters can be brutal on recreational vehicles. From freezing temperatures that crack engine blocks to moisture that causes devastating rust, proper RV winter prep isn't just recommended, it's essential for protecting your significant investment. Whether you're storing your RV in Morgantown or planning winter adventures through the Appalachian Mountains, following these winterization essentials will keep your home-away-from-home ready for years of reliable service.

Protect Your RV Engine with Quality Lubricants

Your RV's engine faces unique challenges during winter storage and cold-weather operation. Traditional petroleum oils thicken in freezing temperatures, making cold starts difficult and potentially damaging internal components. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provides superior cold-weather protection, flowing freely at temperatures as low as -40°F while maintaining optimal viscosity when your engine heats up.

Before storing your RV, change the engine oil and filter using high-quality synthetic lubricants. This removes contaminants that could cause corrosion during extended storage periods. AMSOIL synthetic oils contain advanced additive packages that neutralize acids and prevent moisture buildup, ensuring your engine stays protected throughout West Virginia's harsh winter months.

Winterize Your RV's Fuel System Properly

Fuel system preparation represents one of the most critical aspects of RV winter prep. Ethanol-blended gasoline absorbs moisture and can separate during storage, leading to fuel system corrosion and poor performance when spring arrives. AMSOIL Quickshot fuel additive addresses these concerns by removing moisture, cleaning fuel injectors, and stabilizing gasoline for up to eight months.

Add the appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to your RV's tank before your final trip of the season. Run the engine for several minutes to circulate the treated fuel throughout the system. This simple step prevents fuel degradation and ensures your RV starts reliably when camping season returns to the Mountain State.

Essential Generator Maintenance for Winter Storage

Your RV's generator requires special attention during winterization. These small engines often sit unused for months, making proper preparation crucial for reliable operation. Start by changing the generator oil using AMSOIL Small Engine Oil, which provides superior protection against moisture and temperature extremes.

Clean the air filter thoroughly and inspect all connections for signs of wear or corrosion. Add fuel stabilizer to the generator's tank and run it for 10-15 minutes to circulate the treated fuel. Some RV owners prefer draining the generator's fuel system completely, though fuel stabilization typically provides adequate protection for West Virginia's winter storage conditions.

Prevent costly winter damage before it happens with AMSOIL Quickshot® Gasoline Treatment and Stabilizer. To order, contact All Together Services, Llc in Morgantown, WV, at (330) 243-4233 or visit AMSOIL's online store for synthetic solutions that protect your RV's engine, fuel system, and mechanical components throughout harsh Appalachian winters.

Comprehensive Plumbing System Winterization

West Virginia's freezing temperatures can destroy RV plumbing systems in a single night. Begin by draining all water tanks, including fresh water, gray water, and black water systems. Remove as much water as possible from pipes using compressed air or specialized RV winterization pumps.

Replace remaining water with non-toxic RV antifreeze, running it through all faucets, shower heads, and toilet systems until pink antifreeze appears. Don't forget about ice makers, washing machines, and exterior shower connections.

Protect Moving Parts and Chassis Components

Your RV's chassis, slide-outs, and mechanical components need attention before winter storage. Lubricate all grease fittings using AMSOIL Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease, which maintains consistency across temperature extremes while providing superior water resistance.

Pay special attention to slide-out mechanisms, stabilizer jacks, and hitch components. These moving parts face significant stress and require premium lubrication to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. AMSOIL synthetic greases resist washout and provide long-lasting protection even in challenging mountain weather conditions.

Battery Care and Electrical System Protection

RV batteries lose capacity in cold weather and can freeze if discharged completely. Remove batteries from your RV and store them in a warm, dry location. Clean battery terminals thoroughly and apply a thin coat of AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector to prevent corrosion during storage.

Check all electrical connections for signs of wear or moisture intrusion. Seal any questionable connections and consider installing a battery maintainer if storing your RV with batteries connected. Proper electrical system care prevents costly repairs and ensures your RV's systems function properly when spring arrives.

Final Storage Preparation Steps

Complete your RV winter prep by thoroughly cleaning both interior and exterior surfaces. Remove all food items, clean refrigerators and freezers, and leave doors open to prevent mold and mildew growth. Cover exterior vents and seal any openings where rodents might enter.
