We live in Southern Utah, where temperatures are starting to dip in the low 30s and high 20s at night. But during the daylight hours temperatures are in the high 40s to Lowe 50s. We still plan to go camping every 3-4 weeks from now through the Spring. Do we still need to winterize bnow and de-winterize right before our next trip?
There is no simple answer as we have no idea how well your rv is insulated. Nor do we know how cold it gets during the winter where you will be camping or where the unit is stored.
Winds with below freezing temps can cold soak a rv and freeze water/drain lines even with the furnace going. RV trailers don't all have the same floor/walls/roof R values.
There is a simple answer to this, we live in the PNW near Portland. Temps in winter can get into the high teens, when we would get back from a trip I would look at upcoming weather and if mild would just park it in the storage yard.
If the weather looked to turn cold, I would go and use compressed air and blow the lines and drain the W/H, put pink stuff in the drains. This process usually took about 30 minutes once at the yard.
I never put pink stuff in the water lines as DW could taste it for weeks, and most the parks we went to in winter were not full hookup making flushing difficult.
There were winters I did this six times, other winters might be once.
