7. Drain the waste water system by following the
normal procedure for draining the holding tanks.
See “Waste System” section.
8. Be sure ALL water from ALL plumbing has been
drained.
Draining the water system alone will not provide
adequate cold weather protection. If the camper is to
be unheated during freezing temperatures, consult
your dealer for the best winterizing procedure for your
climate. Your dealer can supply you with one of the
special non-toxic antifreezes that are safe and
approved for use in RV water systems. Follow the
instructions furnished with the antifreeze.
Do not use automotive or windshield washer antifreeze
in the camper water system. These could be harmful if
swallowed.
WINTERIZING METHOD (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Make sure the water pump switch is off.
2. Insert the hose from the winterizing valve into a
container of RV approved non-toxic antifreeze.
3. Turn the water heater bypass valve to Bypass
position and drain the water heater by removing the
drain plug and opening the safety relief valve.
Open faucets to relieve pressure. (Hot and Cold)
Open the hot and cold low point drains.
4. Drain the water tank by opening the tank drain and
leave open to drain completely.
5. After the system is completely drained, close all
faucets and turn off the low point drain valves.
6. Turn the winterize valve to “Winterize” position.
7. Turn ON the water pump switch.
8. Open the hot water faucet farthest from the water
tank. When antifreeze appears, let at least one
cup run down the drain to winterize the P-trap. Do
the same to all other water outlets, hot and cold,
including shower, toilet and outside shower.
9. Turn OFF the pump switch.
10. Open a water faucet to relieve pressure, and then
close.
11. The procedure is complete.
WATER HEATER BYPASS (IF EQUIPPED)
The water heater bypass valve is located behind the
water heater and is used when winterizing the water
system for storage. By rotating the lever to the bypass
position, antifreeze will not enter the water heater
requiring less antifreeze to protect the water system
plumbing. Follow the instructions shown on the valve.
NOTE: Be sure to drain the water heater by opening
the drain plug at the bottom of the heater and open the
pressure relief valve.
To De-Winterize:
1. First fill the water tank.
2. Turn the winterizing valve to normal flow position.
3. Turn the water heater bypass valve to “bypass”; this
will keep antifreeze from entering the water heater.
4. Turn ON the water pump switch.
5. Open the water faucet farthest from water tank,
catching antifreeze in a container for future use,
until clear water appears. Shut off the faucet. Do this
to all other faucets and the showerhead, including
outside shower.
6. Turn the water heater bypass valve to normal flow
position.
7. Open a hot water faucet until water appears.
8. Your system is now ready for use.
REACTIVATING CAMPER AFTER STORAGE
The following procedure checklist assumes that you
stored the camper with care. If you didn’t and extensive
freeze damage or other serious deterioration may have
occurred, please consult your Lance Dealer
Service Center for advise.
Outside Area
1. Thoroughly inspect the outside of the camper
and open all doors and compartments. Check for
animals or insect intrusion, water damage or other
deterioration.
2. Remove all appliance vent, ceiling vent and air
conditioner coverings. Be sure all furnace, water
heater, and refrigerator openings are clear and free
of debris or insect nests, webs, etc.
