Preparing your RV for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and
Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water heater to
freeze.
Use
ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your fresh water system for freeze protection. No other
product or commodity should be used.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are not
covered under the terms of the
Towable Limited Warranty.
The preferred method for winterizing your recreational vehicle is to use RV antifreeze in the
plumbing system.
Winterizing with Antifreeze Method
It may be easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
Antifreeze should
never enter the water heater, RV water filter, refrigerator, refrigerator
water filter, or fresh water tank.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze
(methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in your fresh water
system. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.

Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the
closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low point
drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have
questions, consult with your RV dealer.

NOTE: The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from
freezing. It is recommended the water heater be drained and by-
passed during the winterization process particularly if introducing RV
antifreeze into the plumbing system. Never drain the water heater
when hot or under pressure! Ensure the water heater is bypassed
and that antifreeze is kept out of the water heater. (Refer to Water
Heater Bypass section)
