Winterizing in Reno

On the same RV storage, got asked by a trailer owner on the other slot where I'm going pulling my unit for camping. I said, I'll have a short camping trip to South Lake Tahoe and winterizing it afterwards.

He told me he never winterize and never did for years. He said Reno does not have sustained sub-zero winters.

I'm winterizing anyways since this will be the first time it will be stored here but any 2nd opinion? I rather err in the side of caution.

Thanks.

  • I'm in the Reno area. It gets cold enough here to ruin plumbing. For years Michael Hohl RV in Carson had an Atwood water heater tank on display split open from freezing. Yes, you need to winterize here. Any of you want to join us and another couple at Gold Ranch Casino RV park this weekend?
  • We live in MoundHouse between Dayton and carson city at 5000 feet and we will winterize, like last year we waited till mid November before it got cold
