Happy Holidays from The EarthRoamer Team!

Whether you're putting your EarthRoamer in storage for the season or planning a winter road trip, be sure to follow these cold weather tips:

- If your EarthRoamer is still in use for the season, turn on the camper air heater or keep your truck in a heated building to prevent plumbing from freezing in cold temps. Use the cold weather package if needed. Refer to your Owners Manual for use.

- Use the pass-thru cushions (if equipped) to prevent camper heat from escaping through cab windows. Use the center cushion and curtain if you do not have pass-thru cushions.

- Close the shades on camper windows to help insulate and keep heat in the camper. Don't forget the roof hatch shade!

- If not in use, winterize your truck when temperatures drop below freezing. Refer to your Manual for winterizing instructions.

- Run the air heater, hydronic, and diesel stove (if equipped) for 30 minutes before putting your truck into storage.

- While your EarthRoamer is in storage, run diesel appliances once every month for 30 minutes to keep appliances in good working condition.

- If air ride equipped, lower the air ride all the way down while in storage, to keep air pressure of the solenoids. This will prolong the life of these components while the truck is being stored.

- While in storage, keep the air tank valve open (located next to the air compressor underneath the truck, refer to your Manual for location) to prevent moisture freezing in your air system.

- If the truck is still in use, bleed air pressure once a day to relieve moisture and keep components from freezing.

- In storage, keep the fuel tanks full to prevent gelling of diesel fuel. While in use, keep as much fuel as you can in the tanks to prevent gelling.

Your Owners Manual will answer most common questions about winter use and storing your EarthRoamer. If you have questions, please contact the EarthRoamer Service Department directly at 303-833-7330 ext.302.
