I just winterized my coach.
1. I opened all the faucets, then opened the low point drains.
2. I removed the drain plug from the water heater.
3. I opened the drain valve for the water tank.
4. I drained the pump and pump strainer.
5. I switched the water tank bypass to "Bypass".
6. Set the little air compressor to 60 psi.
7. Installed the home-built adapter, hooked up the air line.
8. Opened the Faucets one at a time, until no more moisture appeared.
9. Opened the low point drains again, with pressure on the system.
10. Put anti-freeze in the drain traps and toilet.
11. Went to the dump station, dumped the holding tanks.
12. filled the gas tank.
Parked it in the driveway, ready to fill with water and go somewhere, when possible.
Yes, it took most of the day, but then I am old and retired and had nothing else to do anyway, and didn't get started until about 1000.
