One thing I forgot to add. I was told if possible to leave the handbrake off. Apparently drum brakes can seize up on if left applied for long periods. I was thinking a good set of chocks and chain the camper to a solid anchor and it should then be ok with the handbrake off. Even on a slope.

I'll be doing this for the first time to my crusader. Like you it lives on a sloping driveway.

My plan is all soft furnishings/bedding out.
Drain any/all water out.
Remove battery and keep it on trickle charge.
Winter cover on.
Air out when have time over winter.

I'm not planning to remove the wheels, going to see how they fair as is. Might cover them so at least UV damage won't be an issue, though I treat them for that anyway.

We're going away In it in October and probably in February next year. So it's not going to be sitting un-used for very long really.
