Dewinterizing

We are making our dry run/ shake down trip next week in a new winterized 5th wheel. Can someone point me in the direction of a youtube or just a check off list of what to do when we get water hook up at the camp ground? i.e., steps to dewinterize ? Thanks!

Another vote for waiting until warmer weather and running water through the lines. Have a great trip!

Wait till you get to a place and have sewer connection. remember the water and antifreeze has to go somewhere, and your tanks are only so big.

Predicting 28 degrees in Tennessee this week. Of course, it is 70 degrees right now.

I'm leaving for Florida this coming week. Our first night will be a hotel night in Berea, KY. Our second night will be at a campground north of Atlanta and that's when I just flush the lines. Doesn't make much sense to do it any sooner.

I would wait and flush once in warm weather... why blow it out, sit and wonder if its too cold out then flush down south ??

Blowing lines won't hurt anything if you're blowing to get the pink stuff out. But don't follow up with fresh water yet.

We're heading to South Carolina in a week (Andrew Jackson State Park). Midway we've schedule a stop at a KOA. I'm un-winterizing there. I will have full hook-up, can run as much water as needed to clear the lines of pink stuff. Hopefully, won't have to winterize again when returning home to Indiana.

If you have the advantage of full hook-up at your destination, unwinterize there. As goofy as this weather's been this winter, you may want to wait till the last second to un-winterize (and should be in the Southern States). We could still get a cold snap before you head South. Do it (flush with fresh water) where and when you know the temperatures WILL remain above 32F.

Flushing cleans the residue out better.

You will need to flush when you get warmer weather, just do it all then. JMHO
