Posted: Nov 13, 2006 09:22 PM	Foam trailer storage in the winter Just curious what measures need to be taken to store a spray trailer short term in the winter months where temps can get down below 0*. Do you have to drain the hoses? This could be as short as a couple days to as long as a month or two... Thanks, Tim

We have let ours set for three months without any negative effects (many years ago). You wouldn't want to do that in the heat of summer. Remember, foam machines are happiest when they are working. Setting is harder on them than working. regards, olger
