- Place clean towels or old linens on rugs, upholstery and carpet traffic areas.
- If electricity is off, empty freezer and refrigerator completely and prop doors open.
- Clean and protect chrome on kitchen, bathroom faucets, trim, and appliances with a light coating of Vaseline or oil.
- Pour RV antifreeze in sinks, toilet bowls, and tubs if heat is off during freezing season.
- Wash both sides of leaves on house plants.
- Change HVAC filter.
- Tape double layers of cheesecloth over air registers to stop particles of soot from getting in or out of the HVAC system.
