Why Winterizing Your RV Is Essential in Lane County, Oregon

If you’re an RV owner in Eugene or anywhere in Lane County, winterizing your motorhome or trailer isn’t just a smart idea — it’s essential. Cold temperatures, heavy rain, and ice can cause serious and expensive damage to your RV if you don’t take the proper precautions. At Turn Key RV Rentals and Repair, we specialize in complete winterization services to help protect your investment and keep your RV road-ready when spring returns.

What is RV Winterization?

RV winterization involves draining and protecting your plumbing system, treating water lines with RV antifreeze, inspecting seals and vents, disconnecting batteries, and safeguarding components that are vulnerable to cold weather damage. It also includes checking for leaks, cleaning out appliances, and prepping the roof and exterior for the winter season.

Why It’s Critical in Oregon

Lane County winters are unpredictable — with a mix of freezing temps, heavy rains, and even snow in higher elevations. Failing to winterize can lead to:

  • Frozen and cracked water lines or holding tanks
  • Damaged water heaters
  • Mold and mildew buildup from trapped moisture
  • Roof or slide-out leaks
  • Battery failure or corrosion

These issues can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to fix — but they’re all preventable with professional winterization.
