WINTER OPERATIONS
FREEZE DAMAGE PRECAUTION
A motorhome can be used during the colder winter months, however there is always a
possibility of freeze damage to the water system. To prevent this from occurring, here
are a couple of suggestions regarding winterization.
DRY METHOD
This method must be performed by an authorized service technician and consists of
completely removing "ALL" of the water from the motorhome, which results in the
loss of use of the water system.
This is most commonly done when the motorhome will be stored for more than
twenty four hours in below freezing temperatures.
THIS METHOD WILL PROTECT THE MOTORHOME AGAINST FREEZE
DAMAGE.
WET METHOD
In order to MINIMIZE the risk of freeze damage, if you choose to use the water
system in below freezing temperatures, the following guidelines are recommended:
• Purchase four gallons of approved motorhome non-toxic anti-freeze.
• Pour two gallons of motorhome non-toxic anti-freeze into the fresh water tank
and fill with water to 1/2 full (if tank is full, drain to 1/2 tank).
• Turn on pump switch and open the cold water sides of all faucet fixtures. Leave
open until the anti-freeze comes out (color of anti-freeze put into tank). Repeat
for hot water side.
• Flush toilet until anti-freeze begins to flow into the toilet bowl and then pour
one gallon of anti-freeze down the toilet to winterize the black tank.
• Pour anti-freeze down each shower/tub, lavatory sink and kitchen sink to fill the
p-traps.
• To winterize the gray water tank, pour 1/2 half gallon down each related sink
drain.
NOTICE: If anti-freeze is added to the water system, the shower and
sink(s) cannot be used again until the motorhome is properly
de-winterized by a qualified service technician.
