5th Wheel Winterize and De-Winterize process
I've winterized my 5th wheel multiple times and have it down to a smooth process. I'm trying to find the correct procedure to de-winterize. The part that is confusing is the isolation of the hot water...

My unit does not have a bypass it is a 26 yr old Prowler. I drain and blow out the water, put 10 gallons of antifreeze in the fresh tank, pump it to all faucets and fill the hot water tank. Then I drain and blow out the antifreeze. I save the antifreeze and reuse it each year. I only ever loose the 3 or so cups I put down the p-trap and quart I pour in the black tank. Every 2 years or so I buy a fresh gallon to replace the lost stuff.
IN the spring I just add water and away I go.
I have been doing this for 15 years and never had a leak or problem with the hotwater heater, faucets or any other component of the system.
BTW: Never open the relief valve when filling the tank! You need that cushion of air in the top of the hot water tank. Read your manual.
