Winterizing the Plumbing System
Preparing your recreation vehicle 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. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.
If you choose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow-
ing information before starting. Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about
this process. Refer to the
Using the Uni-Dock Utility Center
section for valve settings. It
may be easier to winterize the RV with the aid of a second person.
NOTE:
The winterization process may vary slightly due to different
plumbing configurations between models.
NOTE:
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer)
must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for
possible additional information or contact your Dealer or Customer
Service for assistance.
NOTE:
The water heater must be drained to prevent damage
from freezing. There is a separate water heater bypass valve at the
utility center.
Do not drain the water heater while it is hot or
under pressure!
Antifreeze should be kept out of the tank (storage)
water heater.
