Section 8: Plumbing System
If your RV is equipped with a residential style refrigerator, winterizing instruction
sheet (0311859 Whirlpool) may be included in your Warranty Packet.
If you chose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow-
ing information before starting. Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about
this process. Refer to the Uni-Dock Utility System section for valve settings. It may be
easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
Tank Style (Storage) Water Heater
The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing. It is recommended
the water heater be drained and bypassed during the winterization process particular-
ly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing system. Do not drain the water heater
while it is hot or under pressure! Antifreeze should be kept out of the water heater.
Tankless (On Demand) Water Heater
The tankless water heater MUST have antifreeze in the water heater at all times. Tank-
less water heaters can be blown out with air pressure (there is no drain plug) or winter-
ized using antifreeze in the water lines. Refer to Sanitizing the Plumbing System sec-
tion for an explanation of docking station valve positioning and routing information.
The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by using RV antifreeze in the
plumbing system. It may be easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
Air Pressure Method
This method uses compressed air to blow out any remaining water in the system after ini-
tially draining water using drain valves. Tools required would be an air compressor and
a blowout plug.
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled
environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the air
pressure method is not adequate, winterizing with RV antifreeze must be used
in the plumbing system. Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the
terms of the Towable Limited Warranty .
NOTE: Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be
winterized. Refer to the appliance owner's manual for possible additional
information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for assistance.
NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb-
ing configurations between models.
