Purchased a Rockwood 1940LTD Pop-up about a month ago. Had it out twice so far one very nice 3 day weekend and the other was only 2 days but with heavy rain and wind certinly tested the structural integrity of the camper. So far i am loving it! Have one more camping weekend (Columbus Day) then time to pack it away for the season. It will be stored in my heated garage any suggestions for storing it? I live in upstate NY.

I would still do all winterizing procedures and maintenance, even in a heated storage. Pop ups are fairly easy, drain water, blow out lines. I also like to rotate my tires, either by moving it, or jacking up and rotate by hand. Not sure if that really does any good or not, but it gives me peace of mind.

Would you recommend me using antifreeze in the water system at the end of the season?

Blow out the water lines - open the taps and drain all the water out using the low point drains. If you search you'll find some good detailed instructions on here. No need to put antifreeze in the lines if you get all the water out.

If you have a toilet/shower, you would want to put some antirfreeze in the drains to replace the water that is usually in the S-bends.

Ok thank you! No shower or toilet so I should be in good shape!
