first time winterizing my 5th wheel
I've owned my Mobile Suites 5th wheel for about 4 years and have run away from the winter until this year...SO now I need to winterize for the first time...Been watching the You tube videos and understand most of it....I want to clarify a few things that might be unique to my rig...On the input, I have one switch where the city water is coming in, which I can switch to 'winterize/sanitize...Here I am assuming that I dial it to that setting and this will prevent water/antifreeze from going into the fresh water tank...Is this correct ? Then I have another switch/dial which I can change from normal to 'bypass' which is for the water heater and again, I assume will prevent antifreeze from going into the water heater.....SO after I drain the water heater and open the drain plugs underneath the rig, I plan to dial both switches to the 'correct' position....Then, I plan to pour antifreeze via a funnel into the place which takes in the city water...I 'think' I keep pouring until I hear/see antifreeze coming out underneath the rig, and then I close those valves....I then turn on the water pump and go inside and run each faucet, shower, toilet until I see pink RV fluid coming out...…...Does this all seem correct ? I am not planning to blow the lines out with air as I do not carry a compressor. Thank you for any corrections or advise......As far as my batteries go, I have four 'golf' cart batteries...I am planning on taking all four inside a warm house and putting each of them on a trickle charge......I'll put tire covers on...I'm storing the rig on concrete, so Im not thinking I need to do anything special with the tires other than making sure pressure is good
