Preparing your RV 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.
If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, please read and understand the
following information before starting. Contact customer service or your dealer for
questions about this procedure.
NOTE:
The winterization process explained in this manual represents the typical
application.
Your process may vary slightly due to varied plumbing configurations
between models.
Preparing your RV for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and
Canada.
Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines or the water heater to freeze.
There are two methods to winterize your RV:
1.
Compressed Air Method:
This method uses compressed air to blow out any remaining water in the system after
initially draining water using drain valves. Tools required would be an air compressor and
a blowout plug.
2.
Winterizing with antifreeze:
Requires non-toxic RV antifreeze in the water lines and does not require any special tools.
Use
ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE
in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
NOTE
:
The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing
. It is
recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during the winterization process
particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing system.
Antifreeze should be
kept out of the water heater.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it will be exposed
to temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the
terms of the
Towable Limited Warranty.
