 Thanks for the welcome. We sure enjoyed our first trip out. Also thanks for the tips on winterizing. It looked a bit daunting at first, but your reply and others have helped make it doable. ]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:16:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116206#116206 new RP179 owner - tips on winterizing? : http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116205#116205 Author: Ted

Thanks for the reply in tips on winterizing. I’ll be sure to catch the water supply that feeds the toilet. I don’t want to become an expert at removing the toilet in replacing. ]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:13:09 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116204#116204 new RP179 owner - tips on winterizing? : I just watched your video and... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116203#116203 Author: Ted

Dont forget about the outside shower and (particularly) the water supply that feeds the toilet. Bought my 179 last spring and found out the hard way that the previous owner didn't properly winterize the toilet water supply, when I went to use it the first time.. I'm now an expert at removing the toilet.....]]> Mon, 08 Oct 2018 18:42:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116186#116186 new RP179 owner - tips on winterizing? : Ted, YouTube, many vids on winterizing,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116168#116168 Author: mcarter

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your 179. It takes us 1 gallon of anti freeze to winterize our 179. The bypass valve should be under the bed behind the heater vent. You will also find the suction hose there. We put that in the anti freeze and turn on the water pump and open each faucet until the pink stuff comes out. We also the the city water connect on the outside. Then whatever is left in the bottle we dump into the sink trap and toilet.
Takes us about 1/2 hr to an hour.]]> Mon, 08 Oct 2018 12:39:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116151#116151 new RP179 owner - tips on winterizing? : We have camped once and now must... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12285&PID=116148#116148 Author: Ted

We have camped once and now must winterize til Spring.  We've emptied the fresh watertank, opened both drains (gray and black?) opened all faucets, drained the hot water heater.  Not sure which valves to open on the reservoir under the bed.  I'm sure we've missed something(s).  We bought RV antifreeze but are not sure where and how much to dispense.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
We previously had a pop-up and this is luxury by comparison.  Can hardly wait til next Spring.
