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 fol-
lowing information before starting. 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 plumb-
ing configurations between models.
Appliances (refrigerator) must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s
manual for additional information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service
for assistance.
NOTE: The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by us-
ing RV antifreeze in the plumbing system.
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the
plumbing system
must
be winterized with RV antifreeze. Repairs due to
freezing are not covered under the terms of the
Towable Limited Warranty.
