To use air pressure to winterize your motorhome you will need access to an
air compressor and adapter to connect the air line to your water system.
Adapters can be found at any RV supply store. You should not exceed 40 psi.
when hooked to the water lines. Higher pressure will damage the lines.
1. Remove the water filter elements from the filters and reassemble the
filters without the elements (see “Water Filter”).
2. Drain the fresh water tank by opening the valve located in the outside
water control service compartment of the motorhome.
3. Open the water heater and the low-point drains. Turn knobs to open the
drains. Opening the low point drains clears the water out of the hot and
cold water lines. Leave the low-point valves open until you are ready to
use your motorhome again.
4. Let all the water drain. Turn the pump on and allow it to run so that all
the water is cleared out of the pump and lines, then turn the pump off.
5. After the water lines are drained, hook an air hose to the city water
connection located on the water control panel in the outside service
compartment. Blow out the water lines until no further water can be seen
coming out of the drain lines. Do not exceed 40 psi in the water lines and
faucets.
6. Open all faucets (including the outside spigot), one at a time while the
air is on, to clear water from the faucet supply lines. Do not forget to
drain your shower.
7. While the air is on, hold the spray nozzle (located right next to the toilet)
open until the water has quit running. Hold the toilet flush pedal or
handle down until the water has stopped running.
8. Unhook the air hose and close the city water connection.
9. You will need 1 gallon of RV antifreeze to protect various water drain
lines in your motorhome. Pour 1 pint into both the kitchen and bath
shower drains. Pour 2 pints into the bath sink drain, with some of the
antifreeze going into grey tank to protect the drain valve. While holding
down the flush pedal, pour another 3-1/2 pints into the toilet, letting
the antifreeze run into the black tank to protect the valve located there.
Pour the last pint of antifreeze into the toilet after you have released the
flush pedal. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks and shower after you
pour in the antifreeze to protect the surfaces from stains.
10. Leave the low-point drains open until you are ready to use your
motorhome again.
WARNING: When draining the low water drain lines and the
water heater, be sure the water is not hot. Hot water from the
lines can burn you.
