Storing a CR-V for two months
 
I'll be traveling for two months and need to store my '02 CR-V during
that time. I'll put gas stabilizer in the tank and disconnect the
battery, but wondered if there was anything else I should do during
this period. The car will be stored in a garage the entire time, if
that makes any difference. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Put some mouse kill poison blocks in there. If you get mice in while you
are gone (it happens to the best), they will build nests, eat parts, etc.

2 months is not a long time at all. Don't worry about it. You can even
leave the battery connected without problem.

Two months in the garage? I wouldn't do anything. Just lock it and leave.
