7. Top off the tank with fresh water. Drive the rig around the block to mix up the
solution.
8. Pump water through each faucet so that all the lines are filled with the mixture from
the tank
9. The hot water tank holds ten gallons. Run the hot water faucets until the maximum
number of gallons has passed through to ensure that the hot water tank is completely
full of the water/bleach mixture.
10. Let the water stand for several hours.
11. Drain the entire water system, including the hot water tank.
Draining the Water Storage Tank
The water tank has a cable operated valve that can be opened and closed to drain the tank.
The handle to operate the valve is in the exterior utility box. The valve itself is located
under the trailer near the water tank within the underbelly covering. When draining water
should be visible under the trailer.
CAUTION
NEVER drain the water heater when it’s hot or under pressure.
Winterizing the Water System
RV water systems need to be "winterized" when stored in cold weather to protect against
freezing. Draining the water heater and emptying the low point water drains is NOT
enough to winterize. There are two basic ways of winterization.
Use air pressure to blow all the water out . This is the faster and least expensive way for
those who own an air compressor. A “Blow-Out Plug” can be purchased to facilitate
pressurizing the system.
1. Start by draining water heater and low point drains, so all the easy water goes out.
2. Run the water pump to empty the water storage tank.
3. Close drains and reinstall water heater drain.
4. Pressurize the system to 40-50 PSI. Open faucets and supplies to appliances until
no water runs out (one at a time). Don't forget showers, outside showers, and even
icemaker. Pour one cup of RV anti-freeze into each drain and each holding tank.
Let small amount run out of termination valves.
