6. Drain the showerhead and hose by disconnecting

the hose at the faucet from the inside and outside
shower.

7. Drain the waste water system by following the

normal procedure for draining the holding tanks.

See “Waste System” section.

8. Be sure ALL water from ALL plumbing has been

drained.

Draining the water system alone will not provide
adequate cold weather protection. If the trailer is to
be unheated during freezing temperatures, consult
your dealer for the best winterizing procedure for
your climate. Your dealer can supply you with one
of the special non-toxic antifreezes that are safe and
approved for use in RV water systems. Follow the
instructions furnished with the antifreeze.

Do not use automotive or windshield washer anti-
freeze in the trailer water system. These could be
harmful if swallowed.

WINTERIZING METHOD (IF EQUIPPED)

1. Make sure the water pump switch is off.
2. Insert the hose from the winterizing valve into a

container of RV approved non-toxic anti-freeze.

3. Turn the water heater bypass valve to Bypass

position and drain the water heater by removing
the drain plug and opening the safety relief valve.

Open faucets to relieve pressure. (Hot and Cold)

Open the hot and cold low point drains.

4. Drain the water tank by opening the tank drain

and leave open to drain completely.

5. After the system is completely drained, close all

faucets and turn off the low point drain valves.

  6.  Turn the winterize valve to “Winterize” position.
  7.  Turn ON the water pump switch.
  8.  Open the hot water faucet farthest from the water

tank. When antifreeze appears, let at least one
cup run down the drain to winterize the P-trap. Do
the same to all other water outlets, hot and cold,
including shower, toilet and outside shower.

9. Turn OFF the pump switch.
10. Open a water faucet to relieve pressure, and then

close.

11. The procedure is complete.

WATER HEATER BYPASS

The water heater bypass valve is located behind
the water heater and is used when winterizing the
water system for storage. By rotating the lever to the
bypass position, antifreeze will not enter the water
heater requiring less antifreeze to protect the water
system plumbing. Follow the instructions shown on
the valve.

NOTE:

Be sure to drain the water heater by opening

the drain plug at the bottom of the heater and open
the pressure relief valve.

To De-Winterize:

  1.  First fill the water tank.
  2.  Turn the winterizing valve to normal flow position.
  3.  Turn the water heater bypass valve to “bypass”;

this will keep antifreeze from entering the water
heater.

4. Turn ON the water pump switch.
5. Open the water faucet farthest from water tank,

catching antifreeze in a container for future use,
until clear water appears. Shut off the faucet.
Do this to all other faucets and the showerhead,
including outside shower.

6. Turn the water heater bypass valve to normal flow

position.

7. Open a hot water faucet until water appears.
8. Your system is now ready for use.
