Easy Way to Winterizing Water System

There are a number of videos on youtube that give a great overview on how to winterize your camper. We usually button up at the beginning of December and take it out again in early March. It's so easy, though, that we have used it for a weekend and re-did the winterizing when we got home.

I pour several gallons of antifreeze in the fresh tank and turn on the pump until all faucets, shower and toilet run pink. Yes it takes a couple of more gallons but at only 6 bucks a gallon it is worth the small amount of extra money to be able to winterize in minutes without all the fuss.

Been winterizing my MH for 6 years now while sitting in the deep freeze of Wisconsin. And you won't see a post from me about leaks and damage the following spring. Actually you won't see me post about winterizing any more either.....Florida. :C

And no the water does not taste like antifreeze because it's put in the fresh tank. It takes the SAME amount of flushing come spring to clear it out as when you pump it thru the same lines from the outlet. And my pump is fully winterized by doing it this way also.

We don't use an air compressor and it takes us about 15 minutes to fill all the water lines with anti-freeze.

Not sure if other dealers have seminars, but Burlington RV, where we bought our RV, has several free seminars on various topics including winterzing and dewinterizing.
