Using Air Pressure
Access to an air compressor and an adapter
to connect the air line regulator to the water
system is necessary. Air adapters used for
winterizing are available at RV supply
locations. Air pressure should not exceed 40
PSI. Higher pressure can damage the water
lines.
1. Empty the holding tanks.
2. Drain the fresh water tank by opening
the winterization valve, fresh water
tank drain valve, and secondary fresh
water tank low point drain valve (if
applicable).
3. Open the cold water low point drain
valve and hot water low point drain
valve.
WARNING
Ensure the water is not hot when
draining the low point water drain
lines. Hot water from the lines can
burn or injure skin.
CAUTION
Some appliances, such as the ice
maker, require special winterizing
instructions not covered in this
section. Refer to the specific appliance
OEM manual for instructions and
recommendations.
4. Turn the water pump on for
approximately 30-60 seconds and
allow it to run so that all the water
is cleared out of the water pump and
fresh water tank.
5. Turn the pump off.
6. If applicable, disconnect water line to
icemaker.
7. Close winterization valve and fresh
water tank drain valve.
8. Close cold water low point drain
valve, hot water low point drain
valve, and secondary fresh water tank
low point drain valve (if applicable).
9.Open the water heater exterior access
panel. Open the high temperature/
pressure relief valve to vent water
heater. Remove water heater drain
plug to allow water heater to drain.
When water has finished draining,
close pressure relief valve.
WARNING
Allow water heater to cool prior to
draining. Hot water can result in
serious burn injuries.
10. Place water heater bypass valve
(located back of water heater) to the
Bypass position.
11. Connect air hose with regulator to
the City/Fresh Water Fill connection.
Place City Water/Fresh Tank Fill
valve to the City Water position. Set
regulator to 40 PSI and turn on air
compressor.
Do not exceed 40 PSI in
the water lines and faucets.
12. Open all faucets, including outside
faucet and shower, one at a time until
air comes out to clear water from
supply lines.
13. Hold toilet mechanism open (flush
toilet) until the water has stopped
running.
14. Open cold water low point drain
valve, hot water low point drain
valve.
15. Allow any water to drain.
16. Shut off the air compressor and
disconnect the air hose.
17. One gallon of FDA approved RV
antifreeze is needed to protect various
water drain lines in the motorhome.
Pour 1 pint into the kitchen drain and
1 pint into the bath shower drain.
Pour 2 pints into the bath sink drain.
This will protect the P-traps with
some of the antifreeze going into
grey tank to protect the drain valve.
Open the toilet bowl valve. Pour
another 3 pints into the toilet, letting
the antifreeze run into the black tank
to protect the valve located there.
CAUTION
Clean up antifreeze spills immediately
to prevent permanent staining.
POISON
Use only non-toxic FDA approved RV
antifreeze that is specifically made for
potable water systems.
18. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks
and shower (after the antifreeze is
poured in) to protect the surfaces
from stains.
19. Leave hot and cold water low point
drain valves open.
20. When motorhome is to be used again,
install water heater drain plug. Close
hot and cold low point drains
