Dewinterizing for the first time
Hi, This is my first de-winterize. It was winterized at the dealer when I bought it using the RV anti freeze. It is a 2015 Kodiak 241RBSL 27' TT. Here is what I have written out, does this look ok...

Yep, it sound complicated but it is not too hard.
I hooked up the fresh water hose, made sure the hot water heater was bypassed, then opened each faucet both hot and cold until it ran clear. When the pink stuff was gone, I shut the faucet and checked under the sink for drips. I repeated for the bath and the tub.
I added water to the fresh water tank and duplicated the process with the pump. The pump held its pressure, again indicating no plumbing leaks.
Then with the hose reconnected and the pump off, I flushed some water though the hot water heater, screwed in the drain plug and filled the hot water heater with one of the hot water taps open.
I will admit I was in a hurry so I did not flush the hot water line as well as I should have so I could taste just a trace of the anti-freeze.
