Winterizing the inside of the trailer is really pretty simple, it is prepping the inside for being stored long term over the winter in the storage lot.
I double check the pantry and refrigerator and wipe them out so there is no food particles or smells in them. While I make sure the pantry is clean EVERY time we put our rig away to prevent mice, it is really important for the wintertime.
I remove and wash all the linens, and prep them for storage with vacuum bags. (see Winterizing: Linens and Soft Goods for details). I remove all liquid cleaning supplies, sunscreen, bug spray, toiletries, etc that should not freeze over the winter. I cover the bare master bed mattress with an old king sized top sheet.
I make sure anything that is staying in the trailer that uses a battery has the battery removed and grab all the extra batteries. Everything removed from the trailer this gets packed away into two large Rubbermaid bins and stored in the Basement. (These Bins do double duty in the summer storing the MagicBags that we seal the linens in in the winter).
After the water system is winterized, I perform one final vacuum, dust, and mop. When the trailer is in place at the storage lot, SoWeWentDad adds DampRid to the trailer and winterizes the refrigerator.
At this point, the interior of the trailer is ready to be stored over the winter.
