NOTE:
Since it is diffi cult to assure that all water has drained from any low spots in the water or
drainage systems, we highly recommend performing steps one through fi ve above and
then installing special NONTOXIC antifreeze, such as “Winterize” (available from many
Skyline dealers), in the water tank along with water in the ratio recommended by the
antifreeze supplier. Thereafter, follow this procedure:
1. Turn on your demand water pump.
2. Open each faucet, including the shower head, one at a time, until the mixture
comes out of the fi xture.
3. Flush the toilet.
4. Turn off your demand pump.
Before using the water system after storage you should
SANITIZE YOUR WATER
SYSTEM AS INDICATED ON PAGES 20 AND 21. DO NOT DRINK WATER
FROM A WINTERIZED SYSTEM UNTIL THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN COM-
PLETELY FLUSHED AND SANITIZED. INGESTION OF EVEN NONTOXIC
ANTIFREEZE COULD CAUSE A SEVERE ADVERSE REACTION.
GENERAL
You should perform the following procedures if you will not be using your trailer for an
extended period.
PROPANE SYSTEM
Close the Propane container’s service valve. Extinguish all pilots and close all appliance
Propane valves (oven/range, water heater, refrigerator, furnace). Light a range burner (or
range pilot on eye-level models) to consume any gas remaining in the lines. When the
fl ame burns out, turn the range burner (or pilot) OFF.
WATER HEATER
Drain the water heater. To drain, see water heater operation and installation manual
included with trailer.
SMOKE DETECTOR
Remove batteries.
WATER TANK
To drain the water tank, switch the water pump ON and open all faucets. Remove the
water tank’s exterior drain cap or open the tank’s drain valve. Open all hot and cold water
line drain valves. When the tank is empty, close all faucets and drain valves and replace
the drain cap (if so equipped).
