We purchased our 2017 Rockwood TT last June. After our last trip of the year (Nov} I parked it with plans to winterize at a later date. Due to health issues and two operations. it was never winterized in any way. We had one of the coldest seasons in years. Several nights we had 8 degrees. Many weeks below 32. Last week I connected water for the first time expecting some real problems. We had no frozen lines at all. We just got home from 7 days of camping. We had no water issues. I love my Rockwood.

Wow! The camping Gremlins were working for you this time.

SOMEONE was looking out for you !CongratsJack L

I wish I had your luck. Last fall, emptied tanks, drained lines, blew out lines with air and poured RV anitfreeze down drains. So far this year had to replace the kitchen faucet, my bad not opening the valves, outside shower even though I drained it at the shower and the toilet valve. We hate the taste of the RV antifreeze but I guess next year we'll break down and use it.

Larry-D,Install the pink and immediately blow out the lines. Save the antifreeze for the following season. Don't forget to put pink in the traps.

Good for you!
It's funny all the different responses a post will elicit. Everybody wants to fix stuff, even when it's not broken. :D

Here is some good information:

I still think it is safer to NOT freeze anything, and to run from the internal water tank whenever possible.
