WARNING: Never use ethylene glycol automotive
type anti-freeze or windshield washer anti-freeze in
the trailer water system. These could be harmful or
fatal if swallowed.
Anti-Freezing Procedure.
To winterize your trailer
yourself, follow these guidelines:
1.
Thoroughly drain and rinse the toilet and
graywater holding tanks at an approved
dump station.
2.
Open the drain on fresh water tank.
3.
Open the drain on water heater tank.
4.
Open the drain on cold and hot water
lines.
5.
Open all faucets, hot and cold.
6.
Drain the shower/tub faucet diverter and
shower flex hose.
7.
Drain the outside wash station flex hose.
8.
Turn the water pump on to remove water
from the pump and lines; then turn the
pump off.
9.
Close all drains and faucets.
10.
Turn water heater bypass valves to
"bypass" position.
11.
Put anti-freeze bypass valve on pump to
bypass. Dip pickup line in non-toxic anti-
freeze and proceed. Note: If pump is not
equipped with bypass valve then disconnect
suction line from water tank and dip in non-
toxic anti-freeze. This can also be done by
removing suction fitting from pump and
adding short pickup line.
12.
Turn water pump on.
13.
Open each faucet, hot and cold. Let run
until you see anti-freeze solution flowing
continuously. Be sure city water line hose
hook-up has been relieved.

Flush the toilet until anti-freeze solution
flows continuously.
15.
Turn water pump off.
16.
Open a faucet to relieve pressure, then
close.
17.
Pour a cup of anti-freeze down each drain
to protect the P-traps in sinks and shower
drains.
18.
Remove filter cartridge (if water purifier
equipped).
Winter and Summer Protection
For extended storage of your RV, follow these
general maintenance guidelines:
Exterior:
1.
Perform all winter freeze protection
procedures.
2.
Turn off LP gas at the tank valve(s).
3.
Disconnect the batteries. Remove and
store in a cool dry place.
4.
Cover all exterior vents - water heater,
furnace, range hood, refrigerator. Remember
to uncover before using appliances again.
5.
Cover the tires to prevent cracking
from the sun
'
s rays.
6.
Support the trailer on appropriate
blocks, jack stands, or stabilizer jacks.
7.
Cover the LPG regulator to prevent
moisture or insects from entering the vent
opening.
8.
Cover the air conditioner shroud (if
A/C equipped).
9.
Close all windows and roof vents. Note
- in high summer heat, you may want to open
a window to prevent intense heat build-up
inside the RV.
10.
Always remove excessive snow
accumulations from the roof as needed. In
any locale where snow is a possibility, your
RV should be protected from heavy snow
loads accumulating on the roof.
11.
Many RV owners buy a large plastic
sheet that can completely cover a trailer
when not in use. Most plastic covers have
brass or reinforced holes in the sides so the
cover can be tied down. A cover will protect
and keep the RV clean.
12.
When storing RV in winter,
remember to open windows a little to get rid
of excess humidity.
Interior:
1.
Thoroughly clean the interior of the trailer.
2.
Remove all perishables.
3.
Clean the refrigerator and prop the
door(s) open to allow circulation of air.
4.
Open closet and cabinet doors and
drawers so air can circulate through them.
5.
Cover the windows on the inside with
paper or foil to reduce upholstery, drapery,
and floor covering fading from sunlight.
Place two or three boxes of baking soda
throughout the trailer to help absorb musty odor.
