Newer RVs that are hard to winterize.....grrrrr

So today Ed and I wandered over to a Florida CW dealer to look at some new, smaller Class C's in the 22 to 24' size. It's been 3 years since we sold the trusty, entry-level 28' C we owned previously ...

The latest line of thinking is drain it and leave it open and dry.


I was always told to keep the seals "wet", either with water or with antifreeze..... plus I would worry about bugs or road crud getting into the lines? If I had a LOT of RVs to winterize (and they weren't going anywhere), the "open and dry" technique makes sense. Do you leave the black/gray valves open?
