Preparing your RV for colder weather or
storage is very important for most states and
Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may
cause water supply lines and the water heater
to freeze. No commodity or product should be
added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the
camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or
below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are
not covered under the terms of the
Towable
Limited Warranty
.
There are two methods of winterizing your
trailer based upon your model. Please read,
understand and follow all instructions before
beginning.
Air pressure (all models)
This method will utilize an air hose to blow
excess water from the water lines.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty and
drain valves OPEN.
2. Run the water pump until it is dry, this will
take approximately 15-20 seconds.
3. OPEN all faucets and drains, and the
toilet.
4. Using an air hose and adapter (customer
supplied), blow air through the city water
connection. Any remaining water will blow
out in five to ten minutes.
5. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze
into all drain P-traps.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
and windshield washer antifreeze
(methanol) are poisonous. Never use
these products in your fresh water system.
These products are harmful and may be
fatal if swallowed.
