Leaving antifreeze in all summer
For the first time, we are not going to be using our RV all summer. We winterized last fall, and are wondering if we should drain the antifreeze and re-winterize this fall. How long can the antifreeze...

Like someone else said. WOn't hurt to leave it in
Also won't hurt to blow it out with compressed air
Next time you winterize blow it out with compressed air (don't put the PINK in the fresh tank) use Pink in the Drains and toilets but for the main lines blow 'em out with air
DO NOT forget to drain the water pump. water pump inlet strainer and ice maker lines (To drain ice maker lines after the first blow with low point drains open cycle the ice maker manually so the valve opens. OR remove lines at solenoid and drain it that way be sure to make solenoid open and close by cycling however).
Run pump dry for a short time to clear it after first blow out. (1 minute is more than enough, 30 seconds good too 3 seconds likely enough. wont hurt pump)
