They will be leaving the trailer in an unheated storage lot near Chicago over the winter, so maybe someone WITH an Arctic Fox can offer their suggestions as to what needs to be done to allow the trailer to survive a couple years or so of relatively unattended storage.
If they're going to leave it sit for years without being used, then they should open the low point drains, open all the faucets (including the shower) step on the toilet to allow the water from the valve to back-drain.
Then they need to drain the water heater, and the fresh-water tank. Also even though it's not really environmentally-friendly, they should fill the traps with 50/50 antifreeze and water; this won't evaporate like the pink stuff can. But you're using a minuscule amount, so no real harm done.
Since it's going to sit, the batteries should also be removed.
I used to leave mine this way through harsh winters in my upper meadow and had no harm done to it.
I had an Arctic Fox for 14 years, sold it last year for another Northwood product, a Snow River.
If they have other questions, they should visit the Northwood forum; there are lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks there.
