INSTRUCTIONS
List of best practices while storing your Jayco/Entegra Coach Motorhome.
Here are just a few tips, obviously allowing for many variables unknown, based on location and equipment.
Storage for us always begins with one question; with or without power? We would like to give you options for
both.
Without Power:
Turn everything off that has a power button.
Unplug any unnecessary power cords, i.e. phone chargers, printer, coffeemaker, etc.
Empty; refrigerator, icemaker, ext. freezer (if equipped).
MY 2017 to current; turn off battery disconnects and inverter disconnects in passenger basement (excludes
Reatta/Reatta XL).
MY 2016 and older; In order to achieve a full battery disconnect, you must disconnect the leads from the batteries.
We suggest that you take a photo of the connections first before you disconnect any cables (includes Reatta/Reatta
XL).

With Power:
Question 1: What type of power? 50/30/20/15 amp.
Question 2: Will my cord reach?
If you have full 50 amp power and your supplied power cord reaches the storage power supply (most ideal) your
preparations are fairly minimal.
It is advised to empty refrigerator, icemaker and ext. freezer (if equipped).
Turn off inverter(s); you are only disabling the inverter side, not the charger. (This is a precaution in case the
storage facility would lose power, it would not run your battery down within a matter of hours.)
Unplug any unnecessary power cords, i.e. phone chargers, printer, coffeemaker, etc.
Turn off all lights in the coach (don’t forget about the basement and front fender).
Turn off main power switch at passenger console.

If you have 30 amp power and your supplied power cord reaches the storage power supply (ideal) you will need to
make just a few changes.
It is advised to empty refrigerator, icemaker and ext. freezer (if equipped).

storage facility would lose power, it would not run your battery down within a matter of hours.)
