Extended use in below freezing (32° F/0° C)
weather will require operation of the furnace
to protect interior water lines, fixtures, water
storage tanks and pumps. Exposed drains
may freeze quickly. If in doubt about what
temperature the motorhome will tolerate,
winterize with potable antifreeze. Cold
temperature can adversely affect water systems
below the floor level because the furnace
does not provide heat to these components.
An optional 12 Volt bay heater and thermal
snap disc are located in the water service bay.
The System Heat switch on the monitor panel
operates the optional bay heater and should be
turned on when ambient temperatures approach
44º F (+/-6º F) and freezing temperatures occur.
System Heat Operation:
1. Systems heat switch
is turned
ON
to apply
power to the snap disc
thermostat.
2. When the bay
temperature reaches
40º F (+/-6º F) the
snap disc thermostat
closes. The bay
heater and systems
heat Active light
turns on. The
heater continues to
operate until bay
temperature reaches 55º F (=/-6º
F). The bay heater and Active indicator
light will turn OFF .
NOTE
The bay heater consumes about 20 Amps
when operating. House batter power can
be quickly consumed. It is recommended
to hook shore power when using Systems
Heat.
Cold Weather Storage
If the motorhome is stored where freezing
temperatures may occur, drain the domestic fresh
water loop. Begin draining the fresh water tank
by opening the low point drain for the fresh tank
and allowing the water to drain.
NOTE
Icemakers, water filters, water purifiers
and water heaters all use domestic water
and should be drained and stored in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendation for winterization.
WInterIzatIon
Water, plumbing and sewer systems require
winterization when the motorhome is placed
in storage. The recommended method of
winterizing the motorhome is using air pressure
to remove liquids that may freeze and cause
damage to the various systems and appliances.
The lines can then be left empty or filled with an
FDA approved RV antifreeze. When plumbing
lines are drained, antifreeze is not necessary,
and the decision to use antifreeze is left to the
motorhome operator.
NOTE
ONLY FDA approved RV antifreeze
should be used to winterize the water
systems in the motorhome.
Using Air Pressure
Access to an air compressor, and an adapter
to connect the air line regulator to the water
system, is necessary. Air adapters used for
winterizing are available at RV supply locations.
When attached to the water lines, air pressure
should not exceed 40 PSI. Higher pressure can
damage the lines.
1. Empty and flush the holding tanks.
2. Remove water faucet filter cartridge
and replace filter with diverter. (See
FAUCET WATER FILTER.) With
diverter installed it creates a bypass in
the water lines.
3. Drain the fresh water tank by opening
the fresh water tank drain valve
located in a roadside compartment.
4. Open low-point drain valve and allow
water to drain. The low point drain is
located in the water service center.
5. Turn the water pump on and allow it to
run so that all the water is cleared out
of the water pump and water tank.
6. Turn the pump off and close fresh
water tank shut-off valve.
