•

• Turn the city water connection valve on. The water pump will operate. Allow it to run about 20 seconds. Turn city water

connection valve off.

•

• Turn the water pump off and open a galley sink faucet to release back pressure.
•

• Open the fresh tank drain line briefly until antifreeze flows out.
•

• Remove water pump filter if so equipped. Replace water pump filter lid.

Winterizing using compressed air

Roadtrek recommends against using compressed air for winterizing.

Roadtrek only recommends the winterizing method outlined above using RV antifreeze.
