Two methods of winterizing your motorhome after draining and flushing your drainage
system are listed below.
METHOD 1
1. Run the pump until dry, about fifteen seconds.
2. Using an air hose and adapter, blow air through the city water fill.
3. Leave the faucets, drains and toilets open. Any remaining water will blow out in
five to ten minutes.
4. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze into all drain P-traps.
WARNING:
Do not use Ethylene Glycol (automotive antifreeze) or Metha-
nol (windshield washer antifreeze) in your fresh water system. They are
harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
METHOD 2
WATER HEATER BYPASS KIT: The water heater bypass is available on most units.
To Winterize the Plumbing System
1. Turn off the pump.
2. Close valves A, B and D. Open valves E and C. (Fig. 4-14)
3. Drain the water heater and fresh water tank. (Consult the water heater owner’s
manual for details.)
4. Put the hose from valve E into a jug of
NON-TOXIC
RV antifreeze. You will
need more than one gallon of antifreeze.
WARNING:
Do not use Ethylene Glycol (automotive antifreeze) or Metha-
nol (windshield washer antifreeze) in your fresh water system. They are
harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
5. Turn on the pump and open each faucet until the antifreeze flows through. Do not
forget to run the antifreeze through the toilet.
6. Pour at least one cup of antifreeze into each drain to protect the P-traps.
7. Close valve E.
8. Before using the water system again, drain and flush the water system. Close valve
C and open valves D, A, and B. Sanitize and flush the whole system. It is now
ready for use.
To winterize: Valves A, B, and D are closed; E and C are open.
