Cushion and drapes winterizing

[Komodo]

When you winterize your popup, do you remove the cushions and drapes? We get temperatures below 0 Celsius, 32 Fahrenheit most of the winter.

With a pop-up I'd be inclined to remove them, not because of the temps but because of the possible moisture issues that a pop-up might have during long term storage, unless it's stored inside out of the weather, then I'd leave them inside.

Only reason to remove either is if you are concerned with condensation and getting a musty smell. Cushions/mattress would be the most susceptible and I would probably store those in the house.

The low temperatures will not hurt the fabrics. Be sure to remove all canned and bottled goods. Seal all the places were mice might get in and put out a few boxes of mouse poison. Make sure tanks, lines and toilet are property drained/winterized. Make sure everything is bone dry before closing it up. Other than that, do what you can to prevent any possible water intrusion.
