Re: furpod, hogone, SNO4ME, kymooses, I've always used the FW tank method over the past 35 years with the eight or nine travel trailers I've owned and am grateful for the new "suck tube" method I saw on the video the other nite and pointed out to me by all of you guys.  Thanks.

The FW method uses only two gallons as does the suck-tube method pointed out on the video.  It worked fine.  I was mainly concerned with the anti-freeze being thinned down with the 2-3 gallons of water still left in the FW tank, not with it freezing and hurting the tank.

Also, what was the answer from the four of you on the 'city water button not being pushed' on my fiver 200 miles to the north.  I've never done that over the past thirty-five years on the other vehicles.  Is it really gonna 'blow' or what?  Do I have to race back up there and push that button or is that button knew in the recent year/s?

Originally posted by techntrek Usually the stub off the main line running to the city water connection is short, so there is a good chance that some of the water will have been mixed with some antifreeze as you were winterizing.  Also over time as it just sits there it will mix even more.  I wouldn't worry about it.  Worst case if you have damage it is easy to replace that stuff.
