Section 8: Plumbing System
101
If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the following
information before starting.
Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about this process. It may be easier to
winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by using RV antifreeze in the
plumbing system.
NOTE: The water heater must be drained to prevent dam-
age from freezing. It is recommended the water heater be drained
and bypassed during the winterization process particularly if introduc -
ing RV antifreeze into the plumbing system.
Do not drain the water
heater while it is hot onder pressure!
Antifreeze should be kept
out of the water heater.
NOTE: Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must
be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for additional
information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for as-
sistance.
NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different
plumbing configurations between models.
NOTE: If the RV is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or
lower, RV antifreeze must be used in the RV plumbing system
(which would also include appliances like the clothes washer, dish -
washer and refrigerator).
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the
closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low point
drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have
questions, consult with your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is the preferred
method of winterization.
