4. At the gravity fill connection, place a hose
into the container with the chlorine
solution.
5. Turn the water pump ON.
6. After the recommended amount of solution
is in the tank, turn OFF the water pump.
7. Turn the "water heater bypass" valves to
the NORMAL position.
8. Open the hot water line on all the faucets
(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower)
until water begins to flow
continuously and a chlorine smell is
noticeable.
9. Close the hot water lines and repeat with
the cold water lines on the faucets.
10. Let the solution remain in the system for at
least four hours when disinfecting with
50-PPM residual chlorine.
If a shorter time period is desired, then a
100-PPM chlorine concentration should be
permitted to sit in the system for at least
one hour.
11. After the required period, drain the chlorine
solution from the fresh water system (see
Draining the fresh water system).
Some solution may remain in the water
heater and will be flushed in the following
steps:
12. Fill the fresh water system using clean
(potable) water (see Fresh water
connections) completely full.
13. Then, drain the fresh water system (see
Draining the fresh water system).
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the
water system with a solution consisting of
one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean
water. Re-flush as necessary.

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. No commodity or product should be
added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
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.
There are two methods of winterizing your
trailer based upon your model. Please read,
understand and follow all instructions before
beginning.
Air pressure (all models)
This method will utilize an air hose to blow
excess water from the water lines.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty and
drain valves OPEN.
2. Run the water pump until it is dry, this will
take approximately 15-20 seconds.
3. OPEN all faucets and drains, and the toilet.
4. Using an air hose and adapter (customer
supplied), blow air through the city water
connection. Any remaining water will blow
out in five to ten minutes.
5. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze
into all drain P-traps.
Water heater bypass (most models)
It may be easier to winterize the RV with
another person to assist you.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system.
