When storing recreation vehicles dur ing co ld weather months, the following pro­ cedures should be observed. Winter precautions rec­ ommended by the Recrea­ tional Vehicle Institute (RVI) include draining all water from the vehicle's water supply tanks and from sink and shower traps. Use compressed air, if available, to blow the last vestiges of moisture from all pipes and adding about a cupful of anti-freeze to each sink and shower drain to prevent freezing of any moisture remaining in the traps. Ask your RV dealer to recommend the correct anti-freeze product. Uni t s equipped wi th handpumps should have these pumps removed for winter storage where they will not freeze up. Sewage holding tanks must be prop­ erly emptied and drained, and anti-freeze added, even if the unit is to receive con­ tinued cold-weather use. But protecting your RV against freeze-up is only part of your winter storage program. RVI recommends the following additional steps: 1. Jack up trailer or mo­ tor home, if it is not going to see winter use, and put it on good, sturdy wooden blocks. 2. Remove all batteries and store in a warm place. Charge should be applied to stored batteries at> least twice during the winter months to prevent forma­ tion of sulphuric acid crys­ tals on the lead plates and consequent shorting. Tops of batteries should be thor­ oughly clean and dry be­ fore storing. 3. Windows and vents should be tightly closed; however, crack one window open on the sheltered side of your RV to allow some air to enter. 4. Block up refrigerator, water heater, and heater vents, and all outside drains. 5. Cover all upholstery with old sheets or news­ papers to prevent fading. Remove and store curtains and drapes. Some manu­ factured fabrics tend to dry out or crack under very cold conditions -- it is wise to remove seats and cush­ ions covered with such ma­ terials. 6. Thoroughly clean the entire vehicle and apply a coat of good, protective wax. Apply grease to all ex­ posed chrome trim, includ­ ing the backs of rear-view mirrors, hubcaps, radio an­ tenna, etc. 7. Motorized RVs should be protected with anti­ freeze in radiator and with thinner winter oil in the engine. During the winter, start and run engine once a week or oftener, and re­ move battery after each such test. 8. Remove snow accu­ mulations from the exterior of the unit as often as pos­ sible. 9. Remove all canned and bottled foods and drinks from inside your RV, also packaged foods such as flour, sugar, mixes, etc. Car in Condition?

Even though the" owner has paid $250 to $400 or more for an auto air con­ ditioning unit, he cannot take its trouble-free opera­ tion for granted. According to automotive manufacturers, the air con­ ditioner should be turned on and allowed to run for at least five minutes each week in cold Weather, or during periods when it is not in frequent use. These workouts allow the fluids to freely circulate and flush the system, thereby reduc­ ing hose clogging. A weekly circulation of the air con­ ditioner fluid also lubri­ cates the seals and other fittings vital to its efficient operation. The fluid -- or refrigerant -- might be termed the life blood of the air condition­ ing system. If circulation of the fluid is impaired or if it becomes contaminated with air or water, the air conditioner will not cool sufficiently -- or it may fail completely. Based on the average of 10,000 miles of driving per year, your car's air condi­ tioning system should be checked and serviced once a year--or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. This inspection and service should include the follow­ ing: • Check cooling system coolant • Clean intake filters • Clean condenser fins • Test the pressure of the system • Check Freon supply • Tighten all hardware (compressor mounts, condenser mounts, and evaporator mounts) • Inspect system for leaks (compressor, hoses, couplings and valves) The five-minute weekly workout during cold spells or periods of infrequent use, plus the annual inspec­ tion and preventive main­ tenance as suggested here, are normally all that's needed to keep an air con­ ditioning system in good working order year after year. The cost of an annual in­ spection and tune-up won't break your budget -- but major repairs or full re­ placement resulting from improper attention could. Its value and many bene­ fits notwithstanding, the auto air conditioner prob­ ably needs less attention than any other automotive system. But the attention it does require is important to its continued efficiency and to the owner's pocketbook. 49% have some form of ignition system breakdown. 28% have carburetor mal­ functions and 35% have in­ correct timing. These are the areas your service outlet should look at the next time you put your car in for a check. In at least three of these areas the fix is fast, simple and costs very little.

Among the reasons most often cited was this: Cars in the near future may be higher in price due to emissions and safety systems man­ dated by the government. Still it seems that many 1973 and 1974-model car buyers want to take advantage of lowest possible prices now and presumably want to keep these cars as long as they can. Certainly, new cars will continue to be attrac­ tive buys for millions of motorists annually. The thrill of new car ownership is a never-ending one. Lamentable History of Neglect While the theory is sound, the motoring public will have to do a lot better job than they have been doing if they want their new cars to last. For the lamentable history of car neglect that has been so evident in this country has always meant that vehicles are ready for the scrap heap well before their time. There are more motor vehicles junked in this nation every year than there are vehicles registered in all of South America. Only live nations in the world have more cars than the number of cars relegated to scrap heaps here each year. And a large proportion of our derelict vehicle popula­ tion got that way because of neglect. If you want to get your car that extra couple of years, you must pay more attention to car care. The benefits of car care outweigh the costs considerably. For example, the nationally-syndicated columnist Sylvia Porter recently noted, "Tune-ups pay for them- _ selves in savings on fuel consumption and engine wear. And as gas prices climb, a tune-up will more than pay for itself." Other instances of how caring for a car lengthens its lifespan and saves money in the meantime are many. • Changing oil and oil filters and lubrication at recommended intervals helps prevent premature en­ gine and chassis wear. • Balancing and rotating tires and aligning wheels add 25 per cent or more to the life of a set of tires. This does not even take into consideration the servicing of safety components that help prevent accidents. Certain­ ly keeping brakes, lights, tires, windshield wipers in good operating condition are keys to safe driving. Maintaining the cooling system is another must for trouble-free driving. Also, many cars are premature junkyard candidates be­ cause of body neglect. So, keeping a car clean, free of rust spots and dents can add years and value to your car. Winter Especially Hard on Cars In this fall and winter season approaching, the elements are particularly hard on a car. In colder climates, the igni­ tion and cooling systems especially take a severe beating. So, to make sure your car gets through the season in good shape and to add those extra years of life to your vehicle, bring it in to your favorite service outlet for a thorough check-up and for necessary services. This Care For Your Car section is devoted to helping you know what it takes to keep your car young as the miles and months pile cm. Lengthy Stretch at Wheel Shortens Trip - Too Soon Tests conducted in the U.S. have come out with some facts on how a motor­ ist's ability to drive is im­ paired by long stretches behind the wheel. On the average, after four hours of driving, a motorist takes 20 per cent longer between corrections of the steering wheel.

If there is a blow-out- before the driver regains control, the car will swerve three times as far as when he is fresh and alert. Tests were made in a Cornell Aeronautical Lab­ oratory (CAL) Inc. simu­ lator in Buffalo, and are being followed up by over- the-road driving in actual /ehicles. Both set of tests are for the U.S. Department of Transportation. The simulator puts the "driver" into conditions he'd actually find on the road with these conditions being controlled and set up by a computer. He "drives" by means of a steering wheel and accelerator and brake pedals. The value of rest pauses in long distance driving also acquired some support from the tests, says CAL's maga­ zine, Research Trends. Each driver, after completing the four-hour stint, took a four- minute break, then returned to the driving simulator for a brief additional run. After the rest, drivers had accuracy equal to that at the end of their first hour of driving. Weight on Tires If you will be using a trailer, camper or motor home be sure to check the weight you are putting on your tires. Surveys show about 20% of all recreation vehicles are exceeding the maximum loads their tires should carry. You can check with your tire dealer, your vehicle owner's manual or your dealer to determine maxi­ mum tire load. Then have your vehicle weighed, fully loaded, on a public scale. A vehicle with overloaded tires will handle poorly and in case of a blowout control problems will greatly in­ crease the chance of a seri­ ous accident. •MO) A $51,000,000 mutual assc 200 Eait Grant Hifhway Phor* 815-56*7256 ciation serving northern Illinois tinea 1925 Mar«r»*o IMinoit McHenry County's Oldest, Largest, Strongest Association where no save." has ever lost a penny D0RKIES 4213 W.
