For the seasoned 170 owners..
Last winter was the first time she was garaged for an extended period of time. And of course, spring came and she was dead as a doornail because I didn't bother to put a trickle charger on her. Now mind you-I did all of the other maintenance. She was waxed, had stabil in the tank, had a cover, checked over completely before the dust cover went on.
But the old garage was garbage, and had no insulation. Basically it protected her from the rain and snow and that was it.
Fast forward to today in the Midwest fall and I'm in a new situation with her. New house with an attached garage [it's not heated but it's solid as a rock and well insulated].
Do you think I still need a trickle this season? She's not getting put away yet, we have weeks and weeks yet to drive.
Any and every comment/suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
