Baja Marine JAY SERIES YEAR 2006 - Manual (Page 105)

STORING YOUR UNIT...
Depending upon your area and where your unit is stored, your camper may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect your camper, never leave food inside the unit
and ensure that all surfaces are clean. You may want to place rodent control products in the
unit during periods of storage. Mice and other rodents can do a tremendous amount of
damage to the tent, drapes, cushions, etc. particularly during the winter months. Storing
units in fields make them particularly inviting to rodents. Periodically inspect your unit
during storage and seal off any areas which can offer an entry point to rodents or insects.
Please remember to remove any screens or tape you have used to seal openings before you
use the camper again. Special interest publications, such as articles and books offered
through TL Enterprises (Trailer Life, Motorhome, etc.) can offer additional and practical
advice on the proper storage of your camper. Damage from rodents or insects is not
covered under your Jayco Limited Warranty.
.
NOTE: When storing your trailer, it is recommended that the battery be unhooked
to avoid draining the battery.
