WINTERIZING PROCEDURES
Certain areas of your water system require
additional attention and disconnecting or
blowing out these lines may be required. Be sure
all water is drained from the system.
You can winterize the water and plumbing
system of your motorhome using one of the
following two methods – 1) Blow out waterlines
using compressed air or – 2) Fill waterlines with
RV water system antifreeze.
Method 1 – Blow Out Procedure
(Drain and purge waterlines using
compressed air)

Open all waterline drain valves and drain
fresh water tank. (See “Water System Drain
