Newbie Snowbird question
We are planning for our first 3-month long snowbird trip this winter. We were discussing what to do (if anything) with the refrigerator while gone. We can transfer the freezer stuff to our chest ...

Fridge gets cleaned out, turned off, and doors wide open. Its a good time to go through and throw away stuff thats been in there too long.
I also winterize the plumbing, I installed a pump, valves, hot water heater crossover, just like whats in the trailer. I pump RV antifreeze, open one faucet at a time and let some run into the traps. Not to forget the washing machine, and undo and drain the ice maker line.
Then for an extra measure, I throw a handfull of rock salt in all the drains. Heat is turned off completly.
I used to leave the heat on around 50, but every year I lost power while I was away, and had numerous broken pipes when I got back. That wont happen any more, and I don't have to pay for the heat.
