Winterizing and Storage
When storing your trailer for short or long periods,
use the same precautions as you would in your own
home in regard to perishables, ventilation, and rain
protection. In addition, for prolonged storage periods,
flush out all the drain lines and the holding tanks. Also
drain the entire water system including the water heater
and the water storage tank. Instructions for draining the
water system are explained in the following paragraphs
on winterizing�
The main consideration in winterizing your trailer is
to guard against freeze damage to the fresh water
system, including lines, tank, and pump; the waste
drain system, including traps and tanks; the water
heater, and the batteries.

drain from the filtration system. The Acuva UV-LED
purifier system can be removed and stored indoors
