Some storage places won't want you having a hooked up charger for possible fire reasons - depends whether they are used to having caravaners around ('cos they seem to have stuff charging all the time!).

I wouldn't change the oil and then store it - on the whole the other way round is a better way of doing it. If you let fluids sit and then drain them you can get out a lot of solids (especially differentials).

Leaving windows open probably isn't going to be necessary or in some cases a good thing. I'd close the fresh air vents too as mould might be a problem. I'd get some of those absorbent crystal damp sucking things to get as much dampness out of the car as possible.
