Lazy Daze Class C winterizing

I have a 1995 Lazy Daze 26 1/2' class C motorhome. The bath & shower rooms are in the middle and an island bed in the back. My problem is that I want to winterize the unit, (first time for me), and I cannot find access to the water pump or the valves to by-pass the water heater. I know they are mid motorhome under the kitchen, but I cannot figure out how to get to any of them. Can anyone help me out? Thanks-a-bunch............ Greg.

  • Yes, I have a manual but it originally did not have a section with instructions for winterizing. I connected with another Lazy Daze owner and he copied the portion of his manual with the instructions for winterizing the rig. I did follow all the instructions, (including draining the water tank. Thanks for your input.
  • Do have your owners manual? They mention draining the water system, but also talk about removing fittings and such. There is a low level drain under the water tank with the valve in the outside storage compartment. Drain the water tank through the exterior access panel as well. The water heater bypass should be under the sink. I know, taking the electrical panel out to work on the water system is a pain, but once you get it out, there's actually a fair amount of room to work under there. Still can't get my water level sensors to work after having it taken apart a couple of times.
  • Thank-you all, I found that I needed to remove the electrical panel under the kitchen counter and found the water pump. I also confirmed that my Lazy Daze does not have by-pass valves on the water heater lines. I did manage to blow out all my water lines and I'm ready for winter. Thanks again for your help.
  • Can you hear the water pump and find the general location? The water tank is likely under the kitchen counter and there might be a panel secured with velcro that pulls off.

    Lazy Daze are made in southern CA and aren't built at the factory with water heater bypass valves or anything much for winterizing. A previous owner could have added something. If not, your choices are to add something yourself, pour antifreeze in the water tank, or blow out the lines with compressed air (using the city water inlet). I added a antifreeze pickup near the water pump and water heater bypass valves on mine.

    Hope that helps-

  • I would recommend joining the Lazy Daze owner's forum. (no charge).
    Then search the archives, you'll find more than you want to know.

    Hint: There is probably no bypass on the water heater or injector tube for the antifreeze.
