Winterizing Newb - Forgive and answer?
OK folks, I'm sorry for this post. I can't help it I'm an all out newb and a worrier, asking some silly questions.
2005 Fleetwood Pioneer 18T6
It's going to be stored in Niagara Falls, ON. It's going to see some fairly cold temps (well below 0c).
So. I've flushed and flushed the black tank to where it runs clean water (ew.), using the wand to wash down the sides of the black tank.
I Drained the grey and white tanks.
I drained the water tank and bypassed it with the valves.
I drained the low point connections.
I then flushed all of the lines with RV antifreeze. Starting at the toilet (furthest from supply), then shower head, shower faucet, lowpoint connections, sink faucet, outdoor shower (dealer installed option), kitchen sink and let a little burp out of the city inlet.
I ran lots of fluid into the traps to ensure they're full of antifreeze as well.
The hot water tank, do I just install the plug and call it good or do I add some antifreeze into the drain and then install the plug?
The system is still under pressure, do I leave it this way or do I allow the pressure to drain off - maybe even let it drain into my water tank?
Should I leave the antifreeze in the bowl of the toilet or let it drain into the black tank - should the black and gray tanks be drained of antifreeze too (I'm thinking no).
Is there something I missed?
Again, sorry to ramble on with these simple questions.
