"mid price" monaco in the winter?
I'm giving serious thought to holding off winterizing as long as possible, perhaps all winter long. Rig is an '08 monaco, rr8r chassis 40 footer. The knight is similar if not identical to ambassado...

Is you idea good, NO. Can you survive a winter doing it, probably, but most likely at a high cost. There are to many nooks and cranny's that do not get heat and when the temps fall below 0°, things will happen, even with your furnaces running and electric lights deployed.
You do NOT need 10 gallons of pink stuff to do a safe and quick winterization. We hook up a air compressor to the system, open all faucets and remove the water heater plug. When water quits flowing, most of your lines will be drained enough for the winter. Use a gallon of pink stuff in the sink and shower traps, which is enough so that some goes into the grey water tank. Put a 75w-100w light in the wet bay to protect the water pump and keep enough heat there to stop the holding tank valves from freezing and you are done. This whole scenario takes maybe 15-20 minutes and gives you the peace of mind that you won't spend the spring in the shop having your coach repaired.
