I saw this and thought it was a good question. Some responders were talking like a DP sitting idle is no big deal but that made no sense to me.

I’ve read a number of messages talking about diesel coaches that sat around too long without use. This caused tires to suffer from dry rot, seal problems, fuel problems and all kinds of maladies from lack of use.

How long does it take for this kind of problem to set in? I know of coaches that have been on a sale lot for over two years and others where the coach was seldom used. So how long is too long?

I know some who put there coaches up for the winter (3 - 5 months) and full-timers may stay in the same place for 2 to 3 months. What amount of time constitutes a problem and what can be done about it.

What do you guys think?
