Seasonal care for a park model doesn’t have to be hard. A few small checks at the right time can save you money and stress. When you keep up with it, your place is ready when you are.
Spring
- Walk all the way around your park model and look closely at the roof, skirting, and corners for cracks, loose pieces, or damage from ice and wind.
- Check doors and windows to make sure they open, close, and seal tightly.
- Turn the water on slowly and watch each connection under sinks and outside for leaks or drips.
- Test your water heater, toilet, and faucets to be sure everything runs the right way.
- Wash the outside, sweep off the deck, and wipe down surfaces inside to clear out dust from winter.
Summer
- Check your air conditioner and clean or replace the filter so cool air can move easily.
- Make sure vents are not blocked by furniture, rugs, or dust buildup.
- Look over your deck boards, steps, and railings for loose screws or soft spots.
- Check outdoor furniture for wear and tighten bolts or clean surfaces as needed.
- Clear out gutters and downspouts so rainwater flows away from your place.
- Fix small problems right away, like a loose hinge or dripping faucet, before they grow.
Fall
- Turn off the water supply and drain all water lines to prevent freezing.
- Remove and store garden hoses, and empty any outdoor water containers.
- Add antifreeze to drains and toilets if needed to protect pipes.
- Clean leaves off the roof, around the base, and out of gutters to stop water buildup.
- Check the roof again for loose shingles or weak spots before winter weather arrives.
- Store outdoor furniture, grills, and loose items so wind and snow don’t damage them.
Winter
- After heavy snow, check the roof and carefully remove extra weight if it builds up.
- Make sure vents, especially for heating and plumbing, stay clear of snow and ice.
- Look around the base of your park model for drifting snow that could trap moisture.
- Check doors and windows to be sure they stay sealed tight against cold air.
- If you visit, do a quick walk-through inside to confirm there are no leaks or drafts.
- Rest easy knowing your park model is protected and ready for warmer days ahead.
