Calendar Event: Winterizing Newbie question Posted: 23 Oct 2013 at 7:53pm |
|
My first year I left my low point drains unscrewed, I used all the antifreeze I had to winterize my driveway really nicely!

No worries, its all a learning experience. Next year you'll use less than a gallon and do it in 15 minutes.

Thanky all....yup, that's what it was. I had put the screen back in BACKWARDS after pushing-the-button to drain the water out prior to the pink stuff.
Now we gotta drive 30 miles to get more anti freeze, hahahahha!!!!

Do a Google search for "How to winterize a RV water system" and you will find a page or two of You Tube videos on the subject. I did not watch any of them, so you may have to watch a few until you find the one most appropriate. Once you go through the process, it is a quick and easy process.

Ok, I know this sounds like a lot, but has anyone made a youtube video for the winterization process? I'm sure its overkill, but some of these steps could cause some problems if done incorrectly. I just want to use the anti-freeze. I dont have a blower, so I'm stuck unless I take it somewhere. I would be happy to do it if I could see it done first!

From what I've read, the pump can be run dry indefinitely. Not that I would want to.
