WARNING: Never use ethylene glycol automotive 
type anti-freeze or windshield washer anti-freeze in 
the trailer water system. These could be harmful or 
fatal if swallowed. 

Anti-Freezing Procedure. 

To winterize your trailer 

yourself, follow these guidelines: 
1.

 

Thoroughly drain and rinse the toilet and 
graywater holding tanks at an approved 
dump station. 

2.

 

Open the drain on fresh water tank. 

3.

 

Open the drain on water heater tank. 

4.

 

Open the drain on cold and hot water 
lines. 

5.

 

Open all faucets, hot and cold. 

6.

 

Drain the shower/tub faucet diverter and 
shower flex hose. 

7.

 

Drain the outside wash station flex hose. 

8.

 

Turn the water pump on to remove water 
from the pump and lines; then turn the 
pump off. 

9.

 

Close all drains and faucets. 

10.

 

Turn water heater bypass valves to 
"bypass" position. 

11.

 

Put anti-freeze bypass valve on pump to 
bypass. Dip pickup line in non-toxic anti-
freeze and proceed. Note: If pump is not 
equipped with bypass valve then disconnect 
suction line from water tank and dip in non-
toxic anti-freeze. This can also be done by 
removing suction fitting from pump and 
adding short pickup line. 

12.

 

Turn water pump on. 

13.

 

Open each faucet, hot and cold. Let run 
until you see anti-freeze solution flowing 
continuously. Be sure city water line hose 
hook-up has been relieved. 

14.

 

Flush the toilet until anti-freeze solution 
flows continuously. 

15.

 

Turn water pump off. 

16.

 

Open a faucet to relieve pressure, then 
close. 

17.

 

Pour a cup of anti-freeze down each drain 
to protect the P-traps in sinks and shower 
drains. 

18.

 

Remove filter cartridge (if water purifier 
equipped). 

 

Winter and Summer Protection 

For extended storage of your RV, follow these 
general maintenance guidelines: 

Exterior: 

1.

 

Perform all winter freeze protection 

procedures. 
2.

 

Turn off LP gas at the tank valve(s). 

3.

 

Disconnect the batteries. Remove and 

store in a cool dry place. 
4.

 

Cover all exterior vents - water heater, 

furnace, range hood, refrigerator. Remember 
to uncover before using appliances again. 
5.

 

Cover the tires to prevent cracking 

from the sun

'

s rays. 

6.

 

Support the trailer on appropriate 

blocks, jack stands, or stabilizer jacks. 
7.

 

Cover the LPG regulator to prevent 

moisture or insects from entering the vent 
opening. 
8.

 

Cover the air conditioner shroud (if 

A/C equipped). 
9.

 

Close all windows and roof vents. Note 

- in high summer heat, you may want to open 
a window to prevent intense heat build-up 
inside the RV. 
10.

 

Always remove excessive snow 

accumulations from the roof as needed. In 
any locale where snow is a possibility, your 
RV should be protected from heavy snow 
loads accumulating on the roof. 
11.

 

Many RV owners buy a large plastic 

sheet that can completely cover a trailer 
when not in use. Most plastic covers have 
brass or reinforced holes in the sides so the 
cover can be tied down. A cover will protect 
and keep the RV clean. 
12.

 

When storing RV in winter, 

remember to open windows a little to get rid 
of excess humidity. 

Interior: 

1.  

Thoroughly clean the interior of the trailer.   

2.  

Remove all perishables. 

3.

 

Clean the refrigerator and prop the 

door(s) open to allow circulation of air. 
4.

 

Open closet and cabinet doors and 

drawers so air can circulate through them. 
5.

 

Cover the windows on the inside with 

paper or foil to reduce upholstery, drapery, 
and floor covering fading from sunlight. 

Place two or three boxes of baking soda 
throughout the trailer to help absorb musty odor.
