7. Disconnect the water pump inlet connection and turn the pump on until all
the water is expelled. This water, about 1/2 cup, can be caught in a towel
or rag.
8. Lower the front of the trailer as far as the jack will allow until water ceases
to drain, then crank the jack up as high as it will go and let any remaining
water drain out.
9. After the water has stopped running from the drain lines, apply at least 60
lbs, of air pressure at the city water inlet. An air to city water adapter is
available from your dealer’s RV accessory store. Be sure the toilet valve and
all drain valves and faucets are open and pump outlet hose is disconnected.
This can be accomplished at a service station and will force any remaining
water from the water heater and remove any water which may be trapped
in low areas.
10. Pour a cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze which has been approved and listed
by a recognized testing authority such as Underwriter Lab into the lavatory,
sink and tub drains to prevent trap freeze-up.
NOTICE:
Remove all RV anti-freeze spillage from all drain and faucet parts
after winterizing. Failure to do so could result in damage to the plumbing
fixture’s finish.
11. Be sure to open the waste holding tank dump valves and drain and flush
the tanks thoroughly (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AS THE SEWAGE IN THE
TANKS, IF FROZEN, COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE TANKS.) Plan
ahead and have this done at a dump station.
12 If so equipped, remove the cartridge of the water purifier and leave the
purifier valve in the open position.
13. Remove the batteries from your trailer and store in a cool dry place where
there is no danger of freezing. It is very important for optimum life of a battery
to check it periodically and to keep it fully charged.
14. Remove any items (food, cosmetics, etc.) from trailer interior that might be
damaged by freezing - or might damage the trailer if containers break.
For additional winterizing protection add a non-toxic antifreeze (approved for
drinking water system) to the water lines using the following procedure.
1. Reconnect all lines except the hose to the pump inlet port. Close all drain
valves.
2. Turn by-pass valve to by-pass position. To by-pass the water heater for
winterizing, close valves A and C and open valve B (See illustration on next
page).
3. Install a spare water purifier cartridge to be used specifically for winterizing.
This cartridge will have RV anti-freeze in it when finished and will be removed
and the clean cartridge reinstalled for normal use. Keep the spare cartridge
for future cold winterizing procedures.
4. Attach a length of hose to the pump inlet port. This piece of hose should
be long enough for the free end to be inserted into and reach the bottom
of the antifreeze container.
