STEPS FOR WINTERIZING
- Turn lever on the back of hot
water heater to by-pass (inside trailer).
- On the hot water heater, release
pressure by pulling lever on pressure relief valve. Then drain hot water
heater by removing drain plug located on the bottom part of the tank. (Both plug and valve are outside.)
- Drain potable (fresh) water tank.
The drain is located by the tank.
- Disconnect water line from fresh
water tank going to pump (at the pump) and hook up winterize hose to the pump
at that connection.
- Put other end of winterize hose
in to antifreeze jug. Turn on pump.
- Open taps one at a time until red
antifreeze comes out. Close tap and open next tap until all are done,
including toilet and optional exterior shower.
- Turn pump off and
release pressure by opening tap. On the city water outlet outside, remove
screen and push center of connection until antifreeze comes out.
- Once antifreeze is in all the
water lines reconnect water line from fresh water tank to pump.
- Also, pour some antifreeze down
sink drains. (Just a couple shots to fill traps.)
- Make sure battery is fully charged then disconnect for winter
This should complete winterizing.
STEPS FOR DE-WINTERIZING
- Leave by-pass valve
on by-pass.
- Hook up city water
and open taps until all red fluid is drained
- Flip by-pass valve
back to normal flow.
Now you should be ready to start camping.
