What to take out of the RV to avoid freezing?

Hi,
I do not typically winterize our RV, because we like to use it all year long. At least, we like to have it prepared for some short trips, whenever there's an opportunity.

But sometimes, there is no opportunity for several weeks. If it happens to freeze, eventually everything in the RV reaches temperaturs below 32°F.

What do I have to take out and bring it to a frost-save place? My Nespresso machine is one thing, I take out first. But what else? What about the fully equipped bathroom? What about electronic stuff?

  • Hi,

    I'd be more concerned about the fresh water lines than the removable items. The P traps also need to be protected.

    If you wish to save the trouble of totally removing items, they could be put in a plastic tub. That way if they froze and burst there would not be much of a clean up problem.
  • Anything that is a liquid or a paste. TV can handle your low temps quite comfortably, otherwise winterise the rv like others do.
