allows the antifreeze solution to enter the drain lines and prevent the
P-traps from freezing. Check the antifreeze solution from time to time
to make sure there is an adequate supply.
9.
Close the antifreeze valve when the winterizing process is complete.
Store the in-take hose, and turn the water pump off.
10.
Open the water supply valve that flows from the pump to the tank to
help prevent freezing on that water line.
11.
To de-winterize your unit, open both of the low point drains to allow
the antifreeze solution to drain from the water system. Next, close the
low point drains and connect your unit to city water. Put water in the
fresh water tank and pump at least one gallon through the water pump
in order to remove the antifreeze from the water pump. Keep the water
heater supply valve closed and the water heater bypass valves open. The
supply valve for the fresh water tank from the pump must remain closed.
As in winterizing, open the kitchen faucet, bath faucet, inside and
outside shower, turning on both the hot and the cold, and flushing the
stool until the antifreeze solution is flushed out of the system and the
water flows clear. Once the system has been flushed, open the water
heater supply valve and close the water heater bypass valve. Open the
fresh water tank supply valve from the pump and the ice maker valve.
Reinstall the water filter. Be sure to close the fresh water tank drain
valves to allow the tank to fill.
Note:
Remember, if your unit has the exterior shower installed you must
winterize this system as well.
Cold Weather Use
Although great care has been taken to build a well-insulated unit, recreational
vehicles are not intended for extended use in subfreezing weather without
special precautions.
When the temperature drops below freezing, the furnace must be turned on to
keep the unit warm. Continued use in cold weather will require the unit to be
winterized.
Head Lamps
Recreational Vehicle headlamp maintenance recommendations while your
vehicle is parked for long periods:
1.
Check headlamp regularly for condensed water drops (daily in high
humidity areas).
