CHECK LIST FOR CLOSING PARK MODELS FOR THE SUMMER SEASON • Turn off the water heater switch, either in your kitchen, or in the bathroom. Also, shut off the main breaker switch (located in your panel box) in your park model unless you plan to leave your air conditioner or refrigerator on. You do not need to drain the hot water heater. • Do not leave a window open in your shed. It will act as a mini-hurricane in the shed • You must shut off the main water valve that is located outside, between the main line and your Park Model. It is housed in a six-inch plastic PVC pipe and will have a red valve on it. • The bright summer sun will fade carpets and furniture. Be sure to close all curtains and blinds. For extra protection, you may measure your windows and purchase “Cellotex” sheets at the local lumberyard for all single pane windows. By cutting the “Cellotex” to fit each window you not only keep out the sun’s rays, but also reduce the heat buildup that normally passes through standard windows. Cardboard also will work well to keep the sun out. • Please be certain that all windows and doors are locked before you leave. • If you turn off your refrigerator, leave the doors open. • Set thermostat to between 82 and 85 Cool – this is cool enough to keep the mildew away. • Put your phone/TV/internet services on vacation. • Unplug small appliances for safety from electrical storms in the summer. • Cover all drains and toilets with Saran ™ wrap to prevent drain flies from coming up. • When checking out at the end of Season, a copy of a key to your unit must be turned in to the Palm Grove Registration Office for safety concerns. These keys are locked in a lock box, and the box is safeguarded for your protection. Make sure the keys that you give the office open all outside doors. • If you have a unit with slides, we recommend you do not leave them out due to wind or rain damage.
