Cleaning
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
sanitation and operational efficiency. Clean the
toilet bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner. Do
not use chlorine or caustic chemicals, such as
drain opening types, as they will damage the
seals.
Clean out the system by flushing with
several gallons of fresh water and one cup of
dry laundry detergent. Add holding tank odor
control in the accordance with the product
manufacturer’s instructions.
colD Weather uSe
A recreational vehicle is not designed for
extended use in below freezing
(32° F./0° C.) weather. Interior water lines,
fixtures, water storage tanks and pumps are
normally protected from moderate freezing
temperatures as long as the furnace is
operating. Exposed drains may freeze quickly.
If in doubt about what temperatures the
recreational vehicle will tolerate, winterize the
recreational vehicle.
CAUTION:
The plumbing system and related
appliances can be severely damaged if
subjected to freezing. Freeze damage is
not covered under warranty.
Winterization
There are two acceptable methods of
winterizing the recreational vehicle.
1. The plumbing system can be blown
out with compressed air to remove
water.
2. The plumbing system can be filled
with FDA approved RV antifreeze
to protect the plumbing system from
freezing.
Which method to use to winterize the
plumbing and holding tank systems is up to
the owner. The preferred method is to use
compressed air. Regardless which method is
used, the plumbing and holding tank systems
must be winterized to prevent freeze damage.
CAUTION:
Freeze damage is not covered under
warranty.
It is recommended to winterize whenever
the recreational vehicle is placed in storage or
below freezing weather is expected. When the
plumbing system is purged with compressed
air, antifreeze is not necessary except a small
amount to protect P-traps and termination
valves from freezing. If using FDA approved
antifreeze to winterize the plumbing system,
several gallons may be required to fill the
water lines.
POISON:
Use only non-toxic FDA approved
RV antifreeze to winterize the fresh
water system. Automotive antifreeze, if
ingested, can cause blindness, deafness
or death.
INFORMATION:
Some items require special winterizing
procedures which can be found in their
respective OEM manuals.
WARNING:
It is recommended that a qualified
RV service technician familiar
with recreational vehicles, such as
an authorized dealer, perform the
winterizing procedure. Freeze damage
is not covered under warranty.
Using Air Pressure
Access to an air compressor and an adapter
is needed to connect the air line to city water
connection. Adapters can be purchased from
most RV supply stores. Air pressure must not
exceed 40 psi. Higher pressure can damage the
plumbing system.
WARNING:
Turn off power to the water heater and
allow it to cool. Hot water can result in
burn injuries.
1. Empty and flush holding tanks.
2. Drain the fresh water tank.
3. Remove low point drain caps.
4. Turn on the water pump and allow it
to run for 30 seconds to one minute to
clear all water out of the water pump.
