All winter long I have been going out every couple of weeks and warming up the airstream. Partly to keep things from sitting too long without cycling, and partly because I'm getting the itch to get out there on the road again!

There are a few schools of thought when it comes to starting a stored vehicle and many are valid. One thing to keep in mind is that whenever a vehicle is run, weather its cold or warm out, the engine should be brought up to normal working temperature and remain there for some time before being shut down again for an extended period. There are some exclusions to this rule but this is what I adhere to for my vehicles.

I also kept the batteries in the airstream this winter. For a couple of reasons. First is that I got lazy at the end of the season and then never bothered to take them out after that. Second, I have no idea how much life the batteries have left in them and I figure since I am upgrading the whole electrical system (yeah, ill make videos) throughout the summer, I didnt feel all that motivated to preserve the ones I had. That being said, they seem to be holding up in the cold quite well. I mean, every time I go out and do the whole warmup thing, they're ready to fire up all systems. So thats something.

Enjoy, and perhaps, subscribe?
