Moving 5th wheel in below zero weather
We currently live in Bismarck, ND and will be traveling to Hibbing, MN during days that may not even reach the teens. We've been told we need to flush the water lines and put some sort of winterizing...

WalMart or any RV parts store will have RV antifreeze. For you, get several gallons and go to the water pump, switch the water heater to bypass, and turn on the correct valves, stick the winterize hose into the antifreeze jug, and turn on the pump. Go inside and turn on each faucet one at a time until you see pink stuff coming out. Turn off the faucet and move to the next fixture. Be sure to do both hot and cold lines. Check often to be sure you dont run out of antifreeze. Once you have pink stuff out of everyplace. be sure to dump some into each drain and toilet. If you have a washer you also need to run the washer to protect the water pump from freezing. Open the drain and drain the water heater completely. Be sure it is turned off! Return all the valves to their original positions, hook up and go. If you don't understand it might be smarter for you to hire a mobile tech to come and do it for you. Watch him and learn.
