I did a quick search and didn't seem to find much on this topic.
I'm storing my Deli for the winter here in Calgary. Does anyone have any tips for things I should do to the van while it's resting (i.e. disconnect batteries, fuel additive...)? The garage it's in is not heated per say, but it does have a space heater that comes on when temperatures drop below -5 or so.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide.
Happy Holidays!

Re: Winter Storage Tips
For long term storage I would disconnect the batteries, and put the vehicle up on jack stands to take the weight off the wheels and bearings, put a fuel stabilizer in the diesel tank, and put a tarp of some form over it (you'd be amazed how dusty things get even indoors)
When you come back to it after long term storage I would recommend changing all the fluids, and charging the batteries up before starting.
(and a space heater that comes on at -5 does qualify as heated in my books...)
