Truck Camper winterizing - Arctic Fox model shown

I'll echo the others here, sir. Nice job on the video. Well thought out and covers everything. Well done,

I see your point with the low-point drains, I don't have them so I just release the check valve and let the pump push a/f out the side.

I still camp in the winter but I just leave it winterized and live out of a jug, it's not usually long trips.

I'm not sure what that means, I'm doing mods for better winter camping, installing a catalytic heater and building a firewood box for our front receiver hitch, I guess that's winterizing for use

Thank-you for the responses.

Hedge, when you open the low point valves it drains all the water in the lines out including from the city water inlet, when you re-pressurize the water lines with antifreeze it fills that city water inlet line with antifreeze as well as all the other lines in the camper. If you do not have any type of low point drain then i would suggest using compressed air through the city water inlet and open the taps inside the camper to purge most of the water before starting with the antifreeze.

Rtz549 - You are correct but its the freezing that cracks the lines, i also live in a climate that doesnt see below -10deg Celsius. If i am camping often over the winter i actually skip antifreeze all together and just use compressed air to blow all the water out (have to dry-run pump though).

I watched the video. If it were me; I'd drain out that liquid from the low point drains and not have any liquid in them. That anti-freeze can turn into slush in extreme conditions since it does have water in it as a base(read the msds for the percents).

Also another reason it's good to put antifreeze in the p-traps is so the water doesn't evaporate out and have a direct open air route to the tank(potential smells).

Nice video. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see you winterize your city water inlet? I also like to get some a/f or blow out my tank rinser connection.

Nice job!

Good video....it reminded me of a couple things I forgot to do on my fox for the winter! I still struggle with disconnecting power....I tend to leave an electric heater in the camper which keeps the temp at a more constant 30F or so. I've found that helps cut down on moisture also (electric heaters dry out the air), and less of the interior wood and other components cracking from expansion and contraction. Also....since I have a charge wizard, the batteries are maintained over the winter.

This year however....I moved my parking location and don't like where I have my cord stretched....so I'm still deciding if I'll keep it plugged in or not.

Again....good video! I love how easy it is to winterize our foxes!
