Bought a 2021 RPod 193. It was winterized when I bought it in November. Can someone give me detailed instructions to dewinterize it. Should I drain the solution in gallon jugs. Thank you for any help.

Don't try to save the RV antifreeze. Just flush the lines. You will need to sanitize the water system anyway. Here is a hint. Use the advanced search function. It will allow you to search topics older than the default six months. There is a lot of information here but the default search won't necessarily find it. Advanced search is your friend.

Better still, use Google search, which is way more sophisticated. You can tell Google search to restrict its lookup to a single web site by using the string site:rpod-owners.com in front of your search terms.

For a simple example about antifreeze and winterize you would enter:

site:rpod-owners.com antifreeze winterize

Google is your friend.

I wouldn't drink RV antifreeze full strength, but there should not be all that much in the system. The outside shower, flush onto the ground. The sinks will go to your grey water tank, so you will need to dump that, preferably at a dump station. In NC it is not legal to dump grey water from a storage tank on the ground. It has to be treated as if it were from a black water tank.
