This article provides the Newmar-recommended step-by-step instructions for de-winterizing a coach.
How to De-Winterize a Coach
1. Connect your water hose to a fresh potable water
supply.
2. Set the auto fill or tank fill valve for city water supply.
3. Run water through each faucet, toilet, and shower on
both hot and cold settings.
4. Run the dishwasher and the washing machine
through a complete cycle before using.
5. Depress the refrigerator water dispenser while
holding a container to catch the fluid being dispensed.
Continue until clear water is dispensed.
6. Install the refrigerator filter (if equipped).
7. Turn off the water supply drain pressure from the
system using low point drains. Install all filters in the
system.
8. Close the low point drains.
9. Turn on the ice maker, allowing it to run through
multiple cycles. Throw away any ice with antifreeze.
Clean out the ice maker and the tray until clear ice is
available.
10. If the coach is equipped with a water heater, install a
drain plug. Open the water heater valves, and close
the by-pass valve on the back side of the water
heater.
11. Turn on the fresh potable water supply.
12. Open the hot water faucet until the water heater is
filled and flows through the faucet without air.
13. Flip the water heater switch to the “ON” position.
This is located near the drain plug (if equipped with a
water heater).
14. Check the tank level, and dump if necessary.
15. The coach is now ready to use.
This article provides the Newmar-recommended step-by-step instructions for sanitizing a complete water system.
How To Sanitize The Water System
Follow the sanitizing instructions to reduce the risk of
fresh tank contamination. All of the water should be
drained from the fresh water system when the coach is
not in use for more than one week. Whenever possible,
drain the fresh water tank before traveling or only carry
what you will need to get to your destination. Water in the
tank will reduce the carrying capacity of the coach.
When To Sanitize The Water
System
Newmar recommends sanitizing your water system under
the following scenarios to discourage organic growth and
contamination:
•
Purchasing a new or used coach
•
After your coach has been in storage for a lengthy
amount of time
•
At least once per year for proper maintenance
•
If an unpleasant odor arises from your water
The Fresh Water System may need to be sanitized
more often depending on the source of the water
supplied to the coach.
