Winterizing a 2022 RPOD 192

Good day.

Please double check the location of your pump, step one...I say this because I have a 2021 192 and my h2o pump is accessed through the driver side storage access door (on your right, when looking into the storage compartment.
You could need to remove a little protective wall that is held with a couple screws into the floor). Kind of behind the bedside cabinet.

On my 192 it is the water heater in the hidden area accessed through the bathroom panel.

Either way, when you look at the pump, there should be a lever for you to select where the pump draws from. It should be set to draw water from the line running to the fresh water tank.

The lever should move 90 degrees and the line it points to should now be a relatively short line that isn't connected at its opposite end. This unconnected end is to be placed in your rv antifreeze container and draw from it.

Good luck and let us know how it goes for you! I would be interested in finding out if they have moved the water pump to the water heater area or not.

Hopefully they replaced the handles and no charge.  They must have really gone chincey on those as my original lasted 10 years without any problems and am now just finished year 2 with the new one (same model and size) and again, no issues.

You are welcome, just happy to help where we can.

Yes, some areas (insert tongue in cheek here...) do leave a bit to be desired. But, all things considered we love our 192! Lots of help and ideas to work with on this site, and a lot of experienced people available to help with ideas.

We have the Norcold fridge, and we are very impressed with its performance in all temperature conditions. Sorry to hear you are having troubles with yours, hopefully the new handles are longer lasting!

Cheers,

Andy

Hello Jato.

It is a 2 way fridge, propane and 110V. It is impressive in how quickly it cools on both propane and 110V, in the heat of summer.

When we camp we always have one of those indoor/outdoor thermometers with the outside sensor set in the freezer. Once the freezer has sufficiently chilled we move it to the fridge to check it isn't too cold. We only set it to the mid cooling setting or even less so it isn't too cold in the fridge.

Wherever we go, my wife likes to have ice made and ready to go for some drinks when we get to our evening stop. :-)

The only thing I have had to do to it is to retighten the door screw at the hinge. It had vibrated a bit loose and the hold open catch or thw fridge door didn't quite line up enough to engage. Easy fix and my wife is happy...so I am very happy with it.

Hi. When winterizing you should purge water from the entire system including the hot water tank. On a 179, you drain the tank by removing the anode rod so I am pretty sure it will be the same on the 171. It's either a 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" hex head, can remember. I have an old plumbers valve remover that works, so that's what I use. When doing that, it's a great opportunity to flush you tank to remove sediment.
