Summer storage in Yuma, AZ

Good morning all,
We are preparing to store our Damon Outlaw until we return in October. Have not had to prepare the rig for hot weather storage before. It will be outdoors, but under a roof. Any and all tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You'll want to cover any window that may be exposed to direct sunlight ; on the inside with water heater insulation ( looks like bubble wrap with one side aluminum foil ) .Comes in 3' wide at hardware stores, they cut to the length you want.
Place zip lock bags , 1/2 full of water , over every sink drain , don't use the regular stopper at the rubber may stick and tear requiring they be replaced .
Place about five , gallon jugs of water in the sinks and shower ( empty milk work fine ) with the caps drilled about 10 times with a small drill bit. you want a LITTLE humidity inside the RV , too much and you'll warp wood and peal wall paper .
Dry the fridge interior , and fill with crumpled newspaper ,lube the door seals , and close the doors.
Open fridge doors can warp in the heat.
Close off all vents with foil tape , back of fridge , microwave etc.
Tape pieces of the W/H insulation , across roof vents and shower skylight.
Cover tires .
Disconnect battery cables .
I'm sure other members will be along to add to the list.

EDIT: BTW ask your neighbors ( if there are any left in Yuma this late in the season ) what they do too.
