Whether your STX Motorhome is taking a well-deserved break or you&#8217;re already looking forward to your next getaway, now is the perfect time to give it a little extra attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winterproof your water system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before parking your STX for an extended period, make sure the water system is properly drained. Freezing temperatures and water systems aren&#8217;t the best combination. Even a small amount of water left in the pipes or tanks can freeze and potentially cause damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Switch off the water pump and empty the freshwater tank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn off the heating system (boiler).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open all taps, including those in the kitchen, bathroom, shower and garage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain both hot and cold water lines according to your STX owner&#8217;s manual.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flush the toilet and empty the grey and black water tanks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave all taps open once the system has been drained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the complete procedure, including the use of compressed air, always consult your STX Motorhome owner&#8217;s manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your STX might be taking a break from travelling, but that doesn&#8217;t mean its batteries should be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During longer periods of inactivity, we recommend keeping your motorhome connected to shore power with the Victron system switched on to maintain battery charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That way, your electrical system stays maintained while you plan your next destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay warm, even when parked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just because you&#8217;re not spending time inside your STX doesn&#8217;t mean the interior should be left to face the winter cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A consistent temperature helps maintain suitable conditions inside your motorhome throughout the colder months. We recommend switching to electric mode and maintaining an interior temperature between 10\u00b0C and 15\u00b0C during winter storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the road calls again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best part of winter? There&#8217;s always another travel season ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re ready to get your STX back on the road, don&#8217;t forget to prepare the water system for use again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by closing all taps and valves, then refill the freshwater tank. Once the tank is full, switch on the water pump and check that all valves are properly closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just a few final checks, and you&#8217;re one step closer to your next adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed winterisation instructions, always refer to your STX Motorhome owner&#8217;s manual and the recommendations specific to your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the days grow shorter and temperatures begin to drop, your travel plans might be slowing down.
