thanks everybody; I think I am in good shape to do this myself...But here is an additional (dumb?) question...The reason I am winterizing is because I bought a home in Oklahoma...I just found out my new home has a 50 Amp hook up already set up for an RV....Now I am wondering if I can somehow take advantage of this hook-up...i.e put a space heater in the RV and one in the basement of the RV after draining, ( I once had a TV screen crack in below freezing temperatures)....I stil want to remove the batteries to put them on trickle chargers inside my new home...does anyone know if , by removing the batteries, I will be able to use the RV outlets to plug in a heater....
Seems to me that an oil-filled heater inside and leaving the furnace fan on would take care of both. Either way, leave all the lower cabinet doors open to keep the cold from "pooling" there. I've read more than one story where someone's had their rig at 50, yet still froze under-sink pipes from the cold coming through the walls.
