So many people fear the word..'winterize'. It is not a big deal And even if lines are blown, ant-freeze is cheap.
There are things to know...where drains are for your tanks, and lines and where to isolate your hot water tank. You really don't want to guess..the damage could be costly. Once you have been shown...the actual doing of it is quick.
Don't forget to pull the anode rod out of the hot water tank. That tank will split wide open.
Go find a buddy that can show you how/where to find all the drains and so on...and where to put in the anti-freeze. Or take it to an RV shop..but insist that they show you, so you know for next time.
Where you are parking it? Is there a power source? Run in a ceramic heater...open all the doors and cupboards and let the heater just run. You still need to winterize it...what if powers goes off...but it will thank you for the love.
