Dear Dave,
I have my motorhome in storage for the winter. Is there anything I need to do or to be aware of before bringing it out for spring? —A reader with spring fever

Well, we know about winter storage of batts now. How about spring rollout? Like sanitizing water tank, drain Rv antifreeze from the pump, lines and water heater, tire inflation and the list goes on and on…… wash/wax, clean windows, windshield wipers, check/change oil. Check engine for rodent nest or damage. (PS: Check the batts too!)
I used to read Dave’s column every day it came out. I even listed at the top of a survey by RV Travel asking which parts I preferred.
Since it shifted to video only, I never watch it. It’s inconsiderate to run an A/V clip when other people are around doing their own thing; the written column was much more convenient. It’s too jarring to have to switch from reading the rest of the issue to Audio/video mode.
Sorry, Dave!

Totally agree with Chris and Tom. Skipped the video and went straight to the comments hoping to see a lot more people asking for a return to the old ways.
Chris,
We will be staying with the written QA, just had a few requests for video so we tried it? We are going to test a video format with a tech talk that would be separate and posted maybe once a week on a weekend morning. Thanks for the feedback.
I’m just the opposite. Anytime there is a video with a transcript available, I watch the video. I use ear buds so as not to bother others.
