In terms of what Yudi?
Don't store in the freezing cold, you know what that does to rubber....
IF it were me, I'd pull the bags off.

I thought I responded to this thread...?
Anyways, only thing you should need to do (granted you do not have any leaks) is add air line antifreeze. A quality install can easily handle the winter with no problems. If your valves stick, have a hair dryer and/or some hot water to unstick.

But it's being parked, the valves don't need any movement since they wont be opening or closing.

Probably should have read his post.....:pat:
If its sitting, just empty watertrap, cycle antifreeze through system and it should be fine.

IMO just keep it half warm, just don't want the bags drying out an forming cracks and causing stress for next summer.

I drove mine last year with no airline antifreeze and no issues.
I do park it in an unheated garage every night though.
This year I plan on parking it in the garage, airing it up, maxing the psi in the tires and a trickle charger for the battery - done.
I've stored many vehicles in the winter this way with no problems come spring.

Maxing the bags out seems like a good idea, or at least airing them up so they are solid and w/out folds or wrinkles.
