How to sanitize
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
system.
2. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup
of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of
water in a container. Prepare one gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity. This will result in a residual
chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the
water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required as
discussed in step 10, use ½ cup of
household bleach with one gallon of water
to prepare the chlorine solution. One
gallon of the solution should be used for
each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
3. Turn the “water heater bypass” valves to
the BYPASS position.
4. At the gravity fill connection, place a hose
into the container with the chlorine
solution.
If filling from a container of potable
water: to ensure the water pump
primes correctly, sit the container at
least two feet off the ground on a
ladder. Turn ON the water pump
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” valve 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 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.
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.
