Why Winterize: 5 Costly Damages to your Trailer or Motorhome
Oh S#@! We don’t like the word snow either, but once it’s here, it’s too late. It’s not just the sight of snow, but the first frost and the first freezing temperatures of the season that send living quarters trailer and motorhome owners into a panic. Chances are that you have been warned in the past about winterizing your trailer or motorhome, but maybe you have decided to take the chance or tried to follow some of the winterization steps, but not all.
This season, we not only want to remind you to winterize, but we also want to tell you exactly what you’re up against if you choose NOT to winterize.
Here are the five most common and costly repairs that stem from not winterizing your trailer and motorhome properly:
- Busted water lines and valves. | Average cost to repair: $100+
- Busted faucets and toilets. | Average cost to repair: $500+
- Busted water pump. | Average cost to repair: $100+
- Water damage. | Average cost to repair: $1,000+
- Busted hot water heater. | Average cost to repair: $700+
- Busted fresh water tank. | Average cost to repair: $700+
That’s over $3,000 in damages that are completely avoidable by taking the time to winterize your trailer or motorhome. As they say, better safe than sorry.
