Extended Newell parking - MARKGMC3 - 05-30-2026

Hi all,

Does anyone know what has to be turned off when we park our Newell for a few months without a 110vac line?
If we turn off all the batteries, do we lose any computer program's & what about the Inverter?
 
Thank You,
Mark

Most certainly the aquahot and ac and dc water pumps. Being gone that amount of time without any power could permanently damage your batteries so I would disconnect them also, not sure what computers you would have in a 99 model so that shouldn't be an issue and when you disconnect the batteries house and chassis your inverters will have no power so they will not be working.

Indoors? Without power the slide seals will deflate.

To the best my knowledge, the engine, transmission, Aquahot all have non volatile memory so lack of power would not cause a problem.

Can you put it on jack stands? The air bags could settle at different rates causing a twist in the coach. Also leaving the front all the way down is rough on the A arm suspension bushings.

The Microphor flappers will eventually open with lack of air pressure.

Thanks Guy's

Looks like I MIGHT lose my Elec line at my covered storage, just when i am getting ready to put my coach up for sale.

After 20 years with my Newell & going on 85 I just cannot keep up with it. (What about putting the generator on low voltage auto start?)

Thanks again
Mark
