I had to go overseas for extended period of time...

I made sure the bus was covered with the RV cover, and made sure the frame was resting comfortably on some stands, rather than deflated airbags.

i came back 3 months later, and find the rv cover blown off, rear view mirror broken, and scratches on the inside of the basement door which I assume is some poor rodent trying to get out to escape the desert heat.

is there a guide somewhere and a checklist on what to do for a long term storage of your bus?

Three months?

Fire it up, do the usual pre-trip inspections and down the highway you go?

happy coaching!

Three months is not "long term", at least for my bus. The PO had it in 5 year storage and the only thing he did was top off the fuel tank before storage. When I went to look at it, after I replaced the dead batteries, it started right up on the first try. Of course it was a mild climate, but still...
