Winterizing Travel Trailer for Beginners
Hello RV'ers - We just finished our last camping trip for the year. :( That being said, this is our first year having to winterize a travel trailer. We have a 32' Passport 2920bh. Does anyone ...

You can crack a window or vent to reduce/stop condensation.
You should also put bug screen over the heater, hot water, hose, and any other opening in the exterior of the trailer. Wasps particularly like to nest in behind the heater and hot water access doors and will even crawl down the fresh water breather tube to nest.
We also spray a 9 mo insect killer around all the legs, wheels, windows and doors. You may want to put something over your tires if they are in direct sun but many people do not bother.
BTW: if you use RV antifreeze you do not need to leave it in the lines all winter. Pump it in to displace the water and then drain/blow it back into the jugs to reuse next year.
