How to de-winterize your trailer? *UPDATE*
We are new to RVing and just picked up our trailer last weekend. We are planning a trip this weekend but I need to de-winterize the trailer. Are there any resources or tips on this? I've watched...

De-Winterize for me also includes "Prep for Camping" work that may be specific to the TT not being used for some time.
For example - I open the propane tanks and make sure I can get the appliances to light (before leaving home). So I'll test them in this order - Stove, Water Heater, Refrigerator, Furnace.
I also check the air pressure in the tires and torque the lug nuts.
Checking the water level in the batteries is something you'll want to do next year. You should have brand new ones this year.
The on item not done on my checklist yet is to get on the roof and check the caulking for cracks.
PS - One of the best TT purchases we made were a pair of walkie-talkies. This way the spotter can calmly talk to the driver as we're positioning the TT. No arm waving, no yelling, etc.
