Your Spring De-winterizing Checklist
I'm always interested in knowing how my fellow TT owners and RVers approach Spring. I would love to see your Spring de-winterizing checklist and learn how you bring your TT out of hibernation.

I don't have a check list. But the plan this years is:
• Uncover the trailer in April after snow is done
• Repair any spots on cover and store on a warm day
• Replace all alarm, remotes, etc. batteries and run slides out
• Empty all compartments, inventory, replace, remove, repack what is needed
• Hook up city water
• flush antifreeze out the water lines,
• fill the fresh water tank, add bleach, pump bleach water thru lines, let stand while doing everything else, drain tank, fill with fresh water, flush lines, drain again
• check all faucets working and no leaks,
• turn on fridge to make sure it works,
• make sure toilet flushes and shuts off,
• check/add water in batteries (also done at least once during winter),
• wash roof, awning and sides
• Check tires and spare
• Bring stored items back from S&B that were stored for winter and replace what is needed for new season.
TT is next to S&B and plugged in all year. TV only gets used for TT or big snows so it needs to be done also. All items are removed in fall including toiletries, baggies, paper, and chemicals. We use them through the winter and replace with new in Spring. Linens and a few clothes are left in the TT.
Right now it is 32 but was -2 last night and 15 tonight. I can go in to check conditions anytime but usually every two weeks. It’ll be another 4 weeks before the process starts.
