PLUMBING SYSTEMS
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 warrantable.
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.
2. If so equipped, replace the water filter
cartridge with the clear plastic bypass
hose.
3. Make sure the water heater 12-volt and
120-volt interior control switches are OFF.
4. Move the “water heater bypass valve” to
the BYPASS position.
5. Make sure the “fresh tank drain” and “low
point drains” are closed.
6. Insert the garden hose into a container of
RV antifreeze solution (this quantity
should be enough to winterize the RV);
attach the other end to the Gravity Fill.
7. Turn the water pump ON.
8. Open the hot water line on all the faucets
(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower) until RV antifreeze begins to flow
continuously.
9. Close the faucet hot water lines and
repeat with the cold water lines on all the
faucets. Do not forget to run RV antifreeze
through the toilet.
When you are done adding RV antifreeze
10. Remove the garden hose from the
container of RV antifreeze.
11. To prevent staining, wipe the RV
antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub)
and toilet using a soft, dry cloth.
To reduce the chance of contamination,
prevent the garden hose from coming into
contact with the ground. If needed, contact
your dealer for assistance.

Water from the sinks and shower flow into the
gray water (or waste water) holding tank.
Water from the cassette toilet (if so equipped)
will flow into the sewage (or black water)
holding tank.
Drain pipes
The drain pipes have a “P-trap” installed to
help prevent odors from escaping into the RV.
During travel, water from the P-traps may spill
and permit odors into the RV. These odors
come from food particles decomposing in the
tank. By adding water and using a RV
approved deodorizing agent you will dissolve
the contents faster and will keep the drain
lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These
chemicals are available at an RV supply store
or your dealer.
Vents
Another important part of this system is the
vent pipes and vents that release air from the
grey and black water holding tanks. The
exterior vent cap is attached to the roof and
must be kept clear of obstructions to perform
as intended. On some models, the vent pipe
may be part of the drainage system referred
to as a "wet vent" (water flows downward as
air flows upward in the same pipe).
