Winterization - Event Date: 07 Oct 2016 - 10 Oct 2016

To answer your first question - yes, the outlets still work. Actually, everything will work, as the onboard converter/charger will supply 12vdc to the things that need it. I am wondering....if you are going to leave the Pod plugged in, then why remove the battery? The onboard converter/charger will keep it charged up/maintained.

Even if you use compressed air to blow out the lines, it is a good idea to suck up enough pink stuff to fill the pump.  I do not believe the compressed air gets to the pump.

I run my pump until it pumps nothing but air. Then I blow out all the lines one at a time. After that I open the hot water anode let the water run out. The air gets through the pump at that time

Originally posted by PodWa Our 2017 R Pod 179 only has two water heater bypass valves -- a two-way valve on the inlet and a shutoff valve on the outlet.  Moving the two-way valve directs the inlet to the bypass pipe and the shutoff valve blocks the water heater outlet.  Make sense?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. The two way valve performs the function of two of the conventional valves. That's a simple and obvious improvement, but I can't think of any way to accomplish the objective with only one valve unless it's a fancy multi-function valve or an additional check valve is involved.
