WINTERIZING
WINTERIZING THE WATER SYSTEMS
1. Drain the fresh water tank by opening the drain tap on the
fresh water tank. The fresh water tank drain is located below
the coach between the hitch rails on the driver side of the
spare tire. Leave this drain open for storage.
2. Drain the grey water into the holding tank then safely dump
the grey water holding tanks. Leave the Y hose connection
attached to the exterior drains. When you run antifreeze
through the sink and shower faucets it will simply drain out
of this hose onto the ground.
For cleaning and sanitizing the grey water holding tanks fill
them half way with clean water. Put ¼ cup of bleach in each
tank, close the caps and shake the tank allowing bleach
water to reach all corners and sides of the tank. Drain the
bleach water from each tank and leave the caps off each
tank allowing the tanks to dry, reinstall the caps and store
the tanks.
3. Remove the waste-holding tank from the cassette toilet.
Dump and flush the waste-holding (black water) tank.
Re-install the tank back into the cassette toilet. (see the
Thetford user manual for instructions.)
4. Open the sink lower cabinet door to access the back of
the Truma water heater and the bypass valves. Relieve the
pressure on the water system by opening the sink tap in the
center position.
5. Turn the bypass valves on the top red line, bottom blue line
and the white center line to the closed position. (The handle
is closed when it is turned 90 degrees to the water line.)
Open the valve that is located where the blue line coming up
from the bottom and the red line coming down from the top
are connected. (The handle is open when it is parallel to the
water lines)
The Rekon was designed to be used in below freezing temperatures. However, if you plan to store your Rekon for the winter season and it
will be exposed to freezing temperatures, follow the winterizing process below to protect the water system. If you plan to use the Rekon
during the winter season please refer to the, “Winter Use Manual” for proper operating instructions.
