7-10 WINTERIZING PROCEDURES
You can winterize the water and plumbing system of your coach using one of the following two
methods:
1) Blow out waterlines using compressed
air
2) Fill waterlines with RV water system
antifreeze.
Method 1
- Blow Out Procedure
(Drain and purge waterlines using
compressed air)
1. Level the Motorhome. If the coach is not level, there may be "low points" in waterlines that
can trap water in the lines and prevent it from draining properly.
2. Drain Fresh Water Tank and Waterlines Open
all waterline drain valves and drain fresh water
tank. (See "
Water System Drain
Valve Locations" chart at end of this section for locations of
drain valves on your model).
3. Drain Exterior Shower Wash Station.
Open exterior shower knobs and lay shower head on ground to drain any water left in the
shower line. Also, place the tip of your finger into the city water inlet and gently press the
backflow valve "button" in the center of the inlet to drain any water trapped in the inlet line.
Using exterior shower to drain waterline (Typical Villagio - appearance on your coach may
differ)
4. Remove the Cold Water Filter Cartridge (if equipped). Remove the filter cartridge from the
filter assembly below the galley sink.
(If your coach is not equipped with a cold water filter,
continue to next numbered step.)
• Place a container beneath the filter to catch any water that may drain from the waterline during
filter removal.
• Twist the filter cartridge counter-clockwise (to the left) about one-quarter tum, then pull it down
and out of the filter socket. Discard used filter.
• Install the diverter plug into the filter socket. Insert plug up into the filter socket as far as
possible and twist clockwise (to the right) one-quarter tum until it stops.
