Hello All,
so okay so I know how to winterizing the trailer BUTTTT. I have it out on property and go out there just about every weekend. It is a pain to have blow out the lines before we leave. So I was thinking and please tell me what you think. When I go out to the property I hook up to city water. (I don't use fresh water tank) so I was thinking if I was to put antifreeze in the fresh water tank and before I leave turn off the city water and turn on the pump and pump antifreeze through system.the pump won't let antifreeze by. Then when I come back to the trailer I can hook up city water an flush out the antifreeze.would this work.I do realize you can buy the hand pump but if I do that I might as well just blow them out with air.. Thanks
I'd do this in a heartbeat if I lived where you are and used the trailer on the weekends. The weather doesn't look like it gets cold enough to gel the antifreeze except in rare circumstances.
Much easier and quicker than carrying around all the pink jugs and fussing with hoses and pumps. You will know real quick if the check valve is leaking because your tank will overflow.
You will need a hand pump to flush the city water line to the nearest drain though.
