Truck Down Time

I travel frequently with my job and often leave my truck in the airport garage for up to one month (at least it is out of the weather unlike at home). Is there anything specialy anyone can think of to help preserve my truck when it is not running on a daily bases? I try not to leave the truck with more than 1/4 of a tank and let the truck warm for a minute when I do get back to it. Any other ideas?

Re:Truck Down Time

I would make sure that your radio, heater, ac and everything else is off so that when you try to start it again they dont all kick on and draw from the battery which may be helpful if it has sat that long especially in the winter. You may also want to add a fuel addative but I am not sure. Just some ideas.
