WINTERIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM
Preparing your RV for colder weather or storage is very im-
portant 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 anti-
freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camp-
ing 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 warranty.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water plumbing sys-
tem.
2. Make sure the water heater 12-volt and 120-volt interi-
or control switches are OFF.
3. Turn the water heater bypass valves to the bypass
positions shown on the following pages - use the chart
that matches your RV configuration.
4. Make sure the “fresh tank drain” is open, and the “low
point drains” are closed.
